Toonpack 9162 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 If it comes back Pink I’ll not be happy only girls (or incredibly talented players) should have pink guitars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted July 8, 2020 Author Share Posted July 8, 2020 I would have a pink guitar but I’ve got no money. Some of the Ibanez models look great fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4713 Posted July 8, 2020 Share Posted July 8, 2020 I'd have a shell pink strat or tele with a black pickguard any day of the week! But I also like Gemmills new one so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I also like Gemmills new one so... Andrew knows the score. I love the shell pink Charvels as well btw. And if I ever went wild and bought a custom shop Fender, it would either be shell pink or Fiesta red. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Needs a re-solder on the heater contact points and a full revavle Ok the payoff from this is massive. It sounds absolutely stunning, the clarity is amazing & the drive channel fucking rocks. Its come back twice the amp. Turns out you should get your amp serviced every now and then rather than waiting till it breaks. Got it done at Stoneham Amplification in Waaaaalllllsend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4713 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 Have any of you been following Chris Bucks channel on youtube at all? I've been familiar with him for a while after appearances on Andertons and TPS but I've dived a bit deeper over the weekend. What a player, love the finger/thumb playing for the most part, his opening jams and stuff are fantastic. Enjoyed the '62 Strat journey videos, would recommend if you've not had a look. Highway one has landed at my Mother in laws house for the time being, until I can ship it out here, some more pictures are showing it to be in fantastic nick, I suspect it has barely been played in its life so far. Planning some mods to it already, despite not having any idea how it sounds or plays just yet think a black pickguard will be going on it, probably some locking tuners and an upgrade to the pots and switches on the assumption that its wired wrong like most lefties are.

Gemmill 44242 Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 I'm subscribed to Buck's channel, and he's a great player, but fuck me he is a boring kid. I just scan through the videos for the bits when he's playing cos I can't listen to his patter. Good news about the strat. Locking tuners are the greatest invention ever. Get some gold ones.

Aye his crack is absolutely tragic. You’d think he was organising a filing cabinet as opposed to working as a professional musician. Also yeh I love locking tuners but I wouldn’t have them on my older guitars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 I’m wondering how plausible it is to get a fully scalloped neck and interchange it as and when with the proper neck on my fender strat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gemmill 44242 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 You'd probably have to get it custom made to make sure that the neck pocket fit was really tight. Once that's sorted though, swapping it out is a piece of piss. I bet Crimson would make you a custom neck for it. Or just get yourself a Malmsteen signature strat which comes with scalloped frets.

Andrew 4713 Posted July 15, 2020 Share Posted July 15, 2020 Warmoth would do whatever you wanted, just had a look and a full scalloping would be $110 on top of whatever the price for whatever you wanted was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom 14011 Posted July 15, 2020 Author Share Posted July 15, 2020 Yeh I’ve a 2005 USA strat so that should be easy to build for & then I could just swap them whenever. This also the temptation to get a £150 rip off strat with scalloped frets from Ali express haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14011 Posted July 20, 2020 Author Share Posted July 20, 2020 I’ve had some Anderton’s points on my account for a few year and haven’t managed to spend them till...now. Got myself this nice vintage chorus. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
