I've seen both sized Logos on all kind of Calis - spot of luck of the drawer (literally) although I think Stadium logos were de riger - there are a fair few around with small Logos - I've got both on mine. B

One day I'll get over there!!! Convinced the missus to visit the States next year, MN is on the cards - I used Shopping potential and "Prince lives there" as the clincher! Plenty of time to plan it, and would be great to meet some of you lot! Cheers, B

Lovely job Chris - thanks for the rapid note - am I the first UK taker? Count me in for Tees as well Cheers, Benner

Yup another 9-46 here just boggo Hybrid Slinkies - I'm fairly unadventurous.

M8, that is spot on. Totally honest instrument. 4 digit standard? Get in there, max desirabity! B

Ace ad !

+1 I thought the same

Is the orange guy a Crash Test Dummy? er...ignore my last, I must have been very 'tired' when I wrote the same answer the last time round! B

Only band I can think of is Manic Street Preacher. Cornershop (Yellowman is leaning on it) Crowded House (people in the apartment)?? Doesnt quireboys cover this? I thought the yellow guy could be crash test dummy(s) I reckon you are spot on with crowded house for that one! B

Jewell (down by the veg stall)

Eminem (by the nine inch nails) Err dildo pistol? Ah I got it

Scissor sisters quireboys television madonna (painting in shop window left side) Alice in chains puddle of mud

My first one was £311.00 for an '88 flamed elite/custom - doubt I'll ever see one for that again these days! B

Hmmmmm. Thats very nice, but for the money I know I can get an airbrushed Korean import, and have some change from $2,000 Cheers, Benner.

...Pre 1964 Gibson LP/SG Junior... ideally a '61 or '62. Perhaps one day... Benner

I loved that!

Happy Birthday John! Evening drinks ruse sounds good! Have you managed to get that singlecoil into anything yet? Cheers, Spodey

EMGs?!!! Total beast

Phwoar!!!!! It's a tele bass-it's a precision bass-it's a tele custom-it's a strat... It's the lot! B and a kahler?! What what what?!

Welcome aboard! Nice gear, nice pic! Ben

I did the same to my elite. That was because when I bought it it was missing a bridge pickup entirely. Swapped the slammer sc for the parallel axis stack. Job done! B

Welcome! Cheers, Ben.

Nice one - this has made my day! Cheers, Ben.

These are definately pretty rare in europe - I'm lucky to have snagged one when I did - it was similarly damaged - I beleive it was done prior to the sandwich/burger integration. They work really well with Cheese wither grilled or straight in. - the branding in the UK is normally 'Gherkin' - although I have seen them described as 'Cornichons', by the real officianardos. When I saw the raft of interest in your example - I thought the following xRay might be useful. My example is definately chambered as you can see. The damage is also apparent - I guess that the risk of the 17 degree back angle coupled with that chambering throughout - pretty fragile. Hope this helps, and good luck with your deal. Cheers, Ben.

This kind of reminds me of the gibbo mIII that the did in the 80's/early 90s - however that body blank looks a bit close for comfort- bit close to the knuckle. Not sure what I think either - except I can't think of any of my guitar mates who would give the it time of day. Perhaps the marketing team have a lot of budget and sway with the manufacturing team... Both gibbo and fender have now got frankly massive portfolios of models/place of origin/spec options etc that I find it pretty hard to take them seriously - is this a case of defocusing on the key brand statements in order to have a mass Market appeal? I struggle to understand that there are enough buyers for a ltd edition, let alone fullproduction run - str*t/lp metalflavour passive kinman mirror plate nos roadworn Mexican built Korean produced lsr nut robot tuning Roland integrated swamp ash chambered photoflame carbon reinforced trimlok tunered relic finish modelling model. Let alone all of the above minus one featuture for a whole seperate line. Ok that's excessive - but you know what I mean... Cynical Spodey.
