    Just got an email from the promoters, there has been a venue change.

    The roadshow is now at the Metro.

    I admit that I am an agent of Satan, however, my duties are largely ceremonial.

    Again already??
    Gee, if Fender spent the money they splash out on these "come and see our latest relic crap shows" on R&D, they might just start to build a half decent Guitar again......

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    Yeah DB, part of the reason why I chose not to attend plus being on a weeknight it would take me over an hour to get there and probably miss the start.

    It's a pity, really..
    Having had a lot of Fenders cross my work bench I have noticed a gradual decline in the overall quality.
    The difference between a '70s built and a modern built is quite scary, especially when you consider the price tag on new ones..
    But then, as I will go to my grave saying, you cant beat a well crafted hand made instrument. It will always feel nicer and play better than a mass produced CNC made plank with strings......Let the debate begin

    haha that's it Ponch, at least it would be a very visible cricket bat for a day night match !

    few weeks ago I managed to leave the DB mancave with a ICA-7 neck in one piece for a bone nut cutting
