Was it a Garrard 410? That's the only possession I have left of any perceived value, plus it's ex-radio 1 and used by er, y'know, some bloke.
I've been thinking of shifting it to fund an MJT Jaguar build. I have so many questions.

I am happy to answer your questions. For instance: no, it was a Michell Engineering Hydraulic Reference turntable.

I've reread that post a number of times trying to work out what the fuck I was on about. I think (looking at the dates) it should have read:

Am thinking I might need a redder tort, but will see how it looks once I've got the pickups and knobs on it first. Am excite.

This was my first thought also, but thinking about it, as Hurb said, I think it will look good once the pups and knobs are in.
The whole thing looks ace.

IMHO with a classy colour the more restrained tort is the thing.

Looks ace Tim, I like everything about it and the tame Tort gets another vote here.

Fuck that Tort!
I LOVE the neck though, seriously gorgeous. And the body is very nice. Do the right thing and put a mint pickguard on it you heathen bastard.
At the very least don't go for red tort, it'll look worse.

I am jealous - I had serious lust for a Strat a little while back that I'd supressed back again until now.
