-71 Musicmaster. Has been refinished several times, now back to it’s original fast yellowing white.

My early -64 mahogany red Musicmaster, one of the alder/poplar bodies on which they used up paint that was to be used in the -63 mahogany-bodied strats and teles. Looks alder through the paint, but is quite light in worn spots so could be the most probable poplar too. It’s nice. 11’s or thicker on a...

Ds-1 bought new as a teenager with duo sonic, used all personal savings, sold it years later Tu-2, got it free, used for years, gave it to a friend Ds-1 for 20€ after someone failed trying to mod it, got it fixed and its still in use Ds-1 old one without box for £50, still have it. Louder t...

When discussing Fender amps, why not refer to them by AA764 or 5e3 or whatever model it is and forget about looks. Beauty lies inside, and Fender transitional periods were long and winding.

Schematics over esthetics.

My go to amp since i found one, was similarly priced too....a decade ago 😀

Great find!

Warning: I am talking solely as my collector personality, not as a player here. So if you find a lovely "player" or whatever, feel free to ignore. But, one thing to be aware of with japanese Fenders is the original price and what it indicates. It can be viewed as a a part of the model desi...

Yeah, why flip out 80s Carrera or Persol catalogs when all that them rockers want these days is NHS reading glasses

What a beautiful amp, nice find.

Prettiest guitar I’ve seen in a while

Mex standard teles ~2008-15 are quite cheap sometimes, and a nod nicer than earlier examples of the same model. They have long lasting hard fretwire and the forum-hated multi-piece alder bodies are actually all right in many of these late model standards. Many for sale are barely used, and nothing i...

A used Gordon Smith could probably be had for £500. The old ones can be true keepers. The total opposite stylingwise from the Burns’. Satin lacquer and bare wood instead of fancy plastics. Also great necks. One pickup models can be real great too. A brand that is most affordable in the UK,...

Let me be clear, etc. I just really like the Bullet ‘stang’s. Two ham bakers, hard tail, no fuss

Sounds nothing like a Marquee, which is no ham bakers, (mostly) floating tail, fuss

But also oozing luxury from its thick korean gloss.

A Burns Marquee is a nice piece of guitar, can be had for around or less than £300, good possibilities in the electric department (any pickup combination) but most of all standard strat-sized pickups, electronics and cases fit. Refreshingly, it is designed with a touch of english eccentricity, wh...

A fantastic read that was!

Would've guessed central european origin, japanese designed zanyness tends to have a more molten character. Good to know it's Hohner, also good the same people didnt design the harmonicas. Or maybe they used their traditional attitudes and rulers on that department only.

I don't think Chrissie Hynde has balls? Some people prefer their guitars rubbed with other peoples balls i guess yeah like what if David Bowie took Chrissie's guitar back in like 1982 or whatever and then him and that depesh mode fuck grinded thier junk all over her pickgard she might have kept it ...

Liking the champ, even though seems old fashioned to have onbord effects. A proper champ with less knobs would fit this day and age of superb reverb and other pedals better. Will therefore stick to ’75 champ amp because it’s more contemporary in concept.
