Hey the KC neck dims are: Circumference at 1st - 108mm Circumference at 12th - 130mm exact Nut width - 41.55mm I find it to be more of a modern C as opposed to a skinny neck. But my idea of skinny is Ibanez wizard. I’m sure my old avri 62 strat neck was skinnier though? I can't get on with w...

There used to be places like that here as well. One shop was like the downstairs of a guy's house, the back room was floor to ceiling with old amplifiers, stuff like WEM, Carlsbro, HH, Selmer, Sound City... The front guitars and pedals. I got a Shin-Ei fuzz from there before they became popular, he ...

This guitar looks sweet. I always wonder where all these weird Fender models went. Are they under a bed somewhere? Did all the collectors grab them? Whenever I see somebody playing a Fender out it's usually something very standard. Guitars I use to see in person, in shops, and even on eBay have rea...

Looks great dots. Never realised the grain was visible through the paint on these models.

Any idea what brand the soapbars are?
On the GT Toronado the pickups were Angry Duncans.

I must have been old before my time, I bought my first Strat at age 18. Sold my half share in a WEM PA100 to help finance it. It cost me the equivalent of £185. I nearly bought a Tele until someone told me of a cheaper store where I could get a Strat for the same money. We've all had Strats, Nic...

There was a time I loved Mustang/JS necks, especially the 65 RI, but only really use my Teles at the moment. I think what feels comfortable changes as your hands change with age. The smaller scale necks seem a bit too restrictive to me and shallow flat necks like Ibanez give me cramp. I can't get o...

The red one with the white stripe is the guitar I most associate with you - coupled with a boiler suit - or did I imagine that bit.

I had about three Toronados at one point, should have hung onto them. Still one of my favourite Fender models.

Need to get the 80s sorted first.
Just get a couple of random Arion pedals, a TS9, DS-1, DD-3 and a CE-2. That's about it.

I recall these had some decent sounds on them. The Line 6 drive section was a big improvement on those Zoom models.

One of my friends bought something similar about 15 years back, whatever Epiphone Korea were knocking out at the time. It was okay. No sonic identity though, it wasn't a Les Paul, it wasn't a SG, it wasn't a Junior, it was just... okay. I found this with some PRS and Eggle as well. They play beautif...
