pls. joe was buying unnecessary amounts of kit he probably can't afford before neil was out of nappies.

The nauseating thing about D's relentless OCD fuelled project spending is the fact that he can afford it, and doesn't mind (tastefully) letting us know.

yeah but i'm pretty sure the guitar thread isn't undiluted golf club fodder... yet.

Tru.

Just you wait until Joe starts his Gibson ES buying phase!

Edit: I feel like. I'm playing with fire here, thankfully I currently don't have the spending power to match my buying ambitions or this really would be the pot calling the kettle etc. 😂

Golf club = custom shop only

i can't really talk. i guitar golf clubbed myself to death some months ago.

Custom Shop Byrdland with "Teenslain" inlayed down the fingerboard in mother of pearl with 24k gold outline and Subaru emblem on headstock?

I am conscious that I'm the only PRS owner here, aka the Pinarello of the guitar world...

Reverse snobbery can >>>>>

Own it dudes!

Does my SE count? I guess it’s the equivalent of

1 Attachment

Oh gawd.

That would be a beautiful thing.

I thought I was the only one 😅 strength in numbers!

I’d be on the blower to the Fender Custom Shop without hesitation if my euromillions numbers came good.

I want to swap it for something strat shaped if anyone is looking for some cheap prs’ness

Am I the Neil of the Guitar thread? Ouch!?! 🤪

Fuck no!

Pretty sure I could win the 'who has the most budget PRS' game:

ANYWAY.

Yes, a thousand times over. I adore Osees (or whatever they're calling themselves this week). John Dwyer is almost up there with Justin Vernon for me!

The dude building my custom bass has gone radio silent again :(

I last heard from him just before Christmas and that was after about a month or so of good contact after the last time he went awol and I caught him out on not replying to my messages by emailing him from another address...

That time he did offer to give me a refund and call it quits but I said no... I'm not sure what to do now... It's been a year since I ordered it and I wouldn't mind the delay so much if he was keeping me updated on some sort of steady progress even if it was slow...

I'm pretty sure at the moment there's only a cut neck blank and a cut body completed... No routing or neck carve completed as far as I know so there's not a lot done?

I could have just bought a P-Bass a long time ago...

It's been a year since I ordered it

Isn't it time to just cut your losses, get something else and play it? At this point, no matter when it finally arrives, you're going to harbour some resentment /annoyance / frustration towards it. I'd just get a refund and move on.

I don't think I'd resent it whenever it eventually would arrive and I'm not wanting for instruments to play at the moment...

I did pop off an email to another builder this afternoon though in anticipation of a possible refund :)

You are by far a better and more patient person than me. I would have given up a long time ago. And if it arrived, unfortunately I'd be far too critical and picky. Hope you get your refund and it all sorted quickly.
