Lovely.

You can't fake the New Shortscale Smile.

Did clicking the "buy" button make you go all giddy? It does me.

Cheers guys. No fucking tort will go near this guitar. The pearl is actually really classy, it's dulled and aged so it's no wack pearl like on Jag-Stangs or whatever. Anyway, I like it.

Thanks man. I do now yeah. Earlier on Gizmo not being right kind of took the edge off and made me sad, but I'm back from band rehearsal now (drumless and acoustic as it's for our Cancer Busking benefit which was a shame) and I feel good. I can't stop playing it - or just looking at it.

That's the way I felt after playing a load at the Doogfests. Need.

OSSOME

Somehow it has a 50s retro vibe with the pale blue and formica look. A thing of beauty. And blue/tort is played out, this is a better look by far.

Dopeness.
Did you buy this or did you finish your project guitar?
If you think of god as a pair of pants, a spiritualist thinks he needs pants, in fact he wants pants but none of the conventional types of pants seem to fit just right, so he makes his own pants and is happy that his knees are no longer cold.-fibus
