It's now fully set up. Low action, Tele twang. It is a good one.
It's a shame it's got two string retainers (doesn't need it) and given the 5-screw scratchplate, vintage tuners would have been a better look (and I prefer split post tuners on Fenders), so I may do some headstock alterations if/when I change the dots.
I put the picture up on my Facebook profile and the wife said, "It's a shame you've shown it propped up against that dirty old amp", to which I immediately replied "So you'd like me to get a new one would you!". How we laughed! But she still said 'no!'.
I did get a 'new' used amp in November (Laney Ironheart 30 1x12" combo). It's not the number of guitars and amps, it's the storage. I either need a bigger house or I'll need to ditch the recording set-up. And I don't want to do that and I can't afford a bigger house without moving to a much more rural location and away from the south-east of England and my friends.
