V cool.

Great, now I think I have to go and buy a hollow body

Congrats! Always loved the Blackhawk!

Not sure if anyone's interested in my Squier Bullet Mustang in sonic grey. It's unfortunately had a bigsby installed which I've removed, so it's got some weird screw holes so call it £60? Works perfectly, just not very pretty. Collection from Walthamstow or meet somewhere east.

Do you have a picture? Can pass it on to the guitarists of my band as they might be interested.

Edited to add one - it's behaving a bit weird on my desktop but I can see it on my phone so shout if you have troubles. It's totally gig worthy - we played a small show at the Black Heart about a year back and it sounded great. No feedback, noises or whistles even when cranked.

Great thanks, picture shows alright for me so will let you know if there's any interest.

I'd be interested - I want to get back into electric after years of (not much practice on) acoustic only and don't want to invest a lot in case it doesn't go well

They didn't fancy it and despite my own temptation to snap it up, happy to let it go to @andyfallsoff

Thanks matey, appreciate the heads up - Andy, you've got dibs!

Man that is a lovely thing. How does it sound?

Anyone want a caline snakebite for £30 posted - cheap and versatile reverb - boxed and mint condition. DM me.

Sounds incredible and actually plays really great too!
I brought it to band practice last week and discovered a bit of jack crackle which hadn't been apparent during purchasing but not a big deal to be honest and I'd like to get my usual guitar guy to give it a once over and sign off on swapping to some heavier strings (I'm pretty sure it's had a neck reset at some stage but these vintage Gretschs are known to have weak neck heel joints).

It also smells bad (OH is not pleased with the pong in the spare bedroom since it's arrived) so apparently the fix is to get it in a room with an ozone generator for a few hours to get rid of all the smells... the joys of vintage guitars :)

I'll be happy if I don't smell when I'm that age.

What does it smell of?! Smoke?

I love the smell of old acoustic guitars.

PSA. Beautiful Tokai for sale. (He's well worth a follow if you're into Rickenbacker and other hollow body guitars, as well as Jags/Jazzmasters)

It's kind of a moldy smell, really not all that pleasant :(

My bro’s bought and epi dreadnought and is getting pretty good but never really played with other people. I’ve had fun noodling over his chords but think if I can get my laptop to play drums and I play some bass lines it’ll be more fun for him, does anyone have a boss octave pedal for sale, or just a couple weeks beer loan and if i works I’ll tey and get one off the the bay

I am selling my Sigma 000M-15 Mahogany acoustic if anyone here is interested. Fabulous sound, great condition, PM me if you are interested

I'm popping back to LDN briefly and thought I might scope out some guitar shops.
Where should I go?

Looking to get a Strat with a a Modern C neck but also just look at the shiny things.

I presume Denmark St still has the cream of the crop. Wunjo is def still there and hopefully a couple of the other vintage dealers are still there.

Ah just popped back in to edit and say obvs Denmark St.
That should probably do it. Cheers Ed.

Andertons pops up a LOT in my YouTube algo's, but don't think it's worth the trek.

You're better off getting something off MarketPlace locally, Jones!
