oh yes. i waited 3 months for a scratchplate last year. i won't go in to the tedious details but i got it eventually after it'd made a 6000 mile round trip. idiots.

I meant stuff going in to the US, actually. Parcel Force's ineptitude goes without saying (when I imported my Jazzmaster, it toured the Parcel Force depots of the UK for a fortnight after it was lost for two months).

indeed. my favourite is when they mark something as 'delivered' online when it clearly isn't, triggering a frantic doorbell ringing episode around all the neighbours with cries of "where's my stuff? someone's nicked my stuff! they didn't put a card through the door! where's my stuff?!?!"

oh wait, it's lying at the depot and has been for a week...

It's the stock pickup that came out of the tele in my sig. I switched it for a fatboy.

Excellent.

And so, on to the dotscaster.

ROB: PM me an address to send these pickups out to.

I wasn't certain you had sent it out! I've not received anything (you can be sure I'll make it clear when it's arrived ), but now I know to expect it I'm going to be extra vigilant. Fingers crossed it all arrives okay.

i guess you never saw the thread i made about taking it to the post office in the pub then.

Haha that's awesome. I'm really stoked about it now, let's hope it comes soon, I might be able to get it finished by the time I go back to school.

Poast pics then.

Or even better, make video.

Will do! I just got it out of the box and it's amazing as fuck. Video to come shortly.

that was pretty fucking fast.

I know! I'm well chuffed to have it in the flesh, and I can't wait to get it rocking and rolling.

Thanks for the letter Sub among others, when I buy a new copy of GTAIV I'll be sure to get on there with you. Yeah, I kinda scratched my current copy...

I am now uploading my quick video that I just made, so watch this space folk.

Wicked. Fantastic news it got to you fine. Looking forward to seeing it all in one piece.

Here it is.

The knobs are no longer a mile from the pickguard now.

hahaha "it's damaged because he was probably angry when he wrote this, I dunno"

Nice one.

And you didn't have to pay customs, what was it marked as on the box?

It was sent by USPS, the description says "Guitar body" and it's valued at $50 and it's a gift.

Like I've said before, I've never paid customs for anything from the states, and I must be getting near double figures with stuff I've got. Perhaps it's my local depot being nice, perhaps I'm lucky.

Thanks for watching guys.
