G'day folks.
A brief history.
I got my first guitar at age 12. It was a 'Tempo' branded SG copy.
By the time I reached 16 (around '76) it was clear that there was too many guitar heroes to compete with.
I was a mad Allman Bros. fan and after a few spins of Duane Allmans Anthology album I was picking up vibes from
King Curtis.
Decided to switch from guitar to saxophone.
Recently was turned back towards the dark side whilst researching a bass for my daughter.
Got an elcheapo Squier Telecaster off the Gumtree to get my fingers re-aquainted with callouses.
Acquired a 'Venom' strat copy in woeful condition (the rattling was fragments of the cast iron tremelo system).
Managed to get it into reasonable playing shape but along the way realised that the neck was a tad wider than the Squier.
I've replaced it with a PitBull guitar TL neck and it is all systems go.
Nice stuff happening with the DIY building community here.
cheers, Mark.
