it's a 6118 for me as well, i got the number wrong the 6117 is the sunburst (i hate it when they give guitars numbers instead of names i can never remember them)

Ah cool. I've seen them for about £1700 online...still bloody expensive but under the £2k mark.

too many, and hence, spending most of my 20's in school

to buy list i've been compiling as a student:
mascis-jm
custom ice metallic blue starcaster
elvis costello jm with black pick guard and cream mustang pickups
bmm thin skin jag
chambered jm with dynasonics
bass vi of some kind
a nice jazz bass
edwards gold top, painted black top w/ 3 p90's
some kind of a les paul w/ humbuckers
trini lopez 335
gretch country gent w/ supertron in neck
gretsch duosonic with dynasonics
godin 5th ave single cut
gibson es125T
etc.

this could go all day

infact I think that there was two of them,a blue one and a yellow one. Think they were about a grand or so.
I didn't pick one up. I don't find them that attractive.

I'm a pretty straight up fender man but damn me if I wouldn't love a Es-335 in Wine red.

Reminds me, would love an ES-339. Out of reach as they don't make them lefty, and custom shop prices are out of the question.

well, I'm at least glad to hear that they're out there. I went on the music ground website but they aren't on the stock list, bummer.

haha no Denmark street. The shops in Cheltenham never have anything I'm interested in.
Was thinking it would be cool for some shortscalers from the midlands do a little meet up soon.
Maybe a little mission to Denmark street. We got the gig in london coming up tho.

I bet James would be up for it!

Saw James in Gloucester park at a gig and he said he's up for a local meet up. Shalli make a thread in the pub?

Oh. I think we're underestimating here just how anti-social I am. I'd only retreat to a tent when the drinking started in earnest.

A tent?is there something I'm missing? Lel

That guy made that, it's not a model Rickenbacker has made in ages. That's pretty amazing. There are some other awesome Rickenbacker builds on there.

That's a good link man.

The 360F-12 on there .

This guy is skilled.

1967 Alray Longhorn

I've seen maybe two, three pictures of the thing. Have no idea how to go about getting one, don't know if I could afford one if I were to somehow find one.

This '64 Jag:

I've played this guitar many times. Want it.
