Could someone tell me why I can't get the avatar thing to work.
Bugman you have indeed seen them over at project guitar trying very hard to spread the word.

Wow, I am amazed, I play all sorts from metal to blues and I must say that is one of the nicest guitars I have seen. How much do you sell that for?

This guitar is around the £650 mark.
I price every instrument on an individaul basis so it depends on what the customer is looking for.
This guitar is for a local session player. So like yourself he is looking for a good range of sounds to cover a wide range of styles.
On this guitar the bridge pickup is wound with an Alnico 5 magnet and the neck with an Alnico 3 magnet this gives an excellent range of sounds just from the switching.

Wow, if you could do a Strat style guitar in this wood, I would sell things I need to live to buy it. :)
