If I do well in my final A-level exams, that's what I'm treating myself to. If I like it, obviously - the local music shop can get one in for me to try, but I haven't done so yet.
We rehomed a dog last week to someone who runs a vintage guitar shop, we talked at length about 335's, maybe it would have been better if I hadn't had the conversation. Old ones are getting very expensive was the essence of the conversation.
Whenever an honest man discovers that he's mistaken, he will either cease to be mistaken or he will cease to be honest.
£240, and there's a guy at college (that owns a Fendr Jag. and a Gibson something-or-other) that's wanting to buy it off me.
Chris - yep, I probably will. Will probably go for it in black - they do them in orange or yellow, but I'm not too keen on how they look. That said, they're always nicer in reality than in pictures on t'interweb.
now here's a thing one of these SRV strats has come up as a project,
the only thing that puts me off is the reversed tremolo, has anyone played one or has any thoughts

Wasps are the Katie Price of the Animal Kingdom - utterly pointless and bloody irritating!

You'd get used to the tremolo thang.
Always struck me as a bit of an odd thing to do, 'cos the arm would get in the way of your hand if you were to plonk your hand on the bridge to damp the strings, but there you go.
SRV did it 'cos of Hendrix having the bridge that way round on his guitars, and he reckoned that it was part of the mojo of Hendrix' sound.
Yeah I think I could get used to it, I didn't know it was because of Hendrix
he has a lot to answer for, actually in the recording I've got I can't remember SRV using it
do you know anything about SRV'S neck profile Chris?,
I would have to buy a neck, Warmoth do offer the SRV profile but there's lots of other options, I have to bear in mind the resale value as well
by the time I'd finish the only SRV thing would be the body
