You used a green pick. That totally clashes with the blue. What were you thinking?

You've lost the screw that hold the trem arm in already?

Lovely guitar and i know a picture says a thousand words but you could at least flesh out some of the back story and specs

Beautiful!

It's a shame to have an empty wall-mounted guitar stand so it's probably for the best that you bought it.

But it wasn't empty from what i remember the flying V used to be there. Pray tell what has befallen the V? Where be the V?

Thanks guys. A little bit of every pedal I've made since the Booster run has gone into this guitar. Every pedal I made a saved a bit of the cash I got back in a savings account. I also sold some stuff at Doogfest and put Â£200 aside last month.

It as many of you have guessed is a '65 RI Mustang in Daphne Blue. It came with some thinass strings that I couldn't play with without being way out of tune. Some 11s made things much better but I'm thinking of 12s. Only played it very briefly but I like. And look at it. it's fucking gorgeous.

So big thank you shortscale to everyone who bought things from me pedals and all that gaff, because without you, I would never have been able to buy this.

Beeeeeeeeeeeyyooooooooooooteeeeeeeeeeefuulllllllll!

Congrats on the new 'stang!

How do the pickups sound on these babies? Do they sound like real Amurikun mustang pickups? I was disappointed with the pickups in my '69 RI.

I only played it through the amp very briefly but they sounded similar to what I remember of Vintage pickups from Doogfests and that. Expect sounds, a video demo and more feedback as the days go on.

well done on getting it, it looks lovely.

Amazing.

Now though, we need to step up the pedal buying so you can get the JVM back.
