The worst thing about this, that amp that costs an extra £2.49 would currently be an upgrade for me :cry:

I'm disturbingly psyched about the impending arrival of the Guitar and Amp (which I will fuck about with). Although I went for the slow-ass (cheap) shipping so I think Thursday next week is V-Day.

Where is it supposed to be? I'm confused?

it's not like I'd be adverse to moving it, like.

edit: haha it's meant to be on the underside of the left hand V. Oh dear.

So, it looks like a tune-matic bridge but it comes with a reverb handle...

The placement of that strap button would make me think it's some sort of tiny V, like uekele sized or something.

I'm sure it's not though.
