Did these arrive yet? What do you think?

Something new in Tele World. There are also a number of supporting videos to this (the build).

When are you expecting the new purchase to land? We expect a review of some description, now that we’re invested with vicarious GAS.

Look out for this coming up on Anderton’s YT channel.

I must voice my appreciation for @Richie Rich’s speed of GAS satiation, from asking for opinions to pulling the trigger in about 5 hours. We’ll played, Sir. A very worthy effort .

Absolutely, they all seem to punch way above their price point. Things were very different back when I was a mere slip of a lad.

Whilst not technically a thinline, I once has a very shallow bowled Ovation. It was pretty good tonewise but a PITA to play as it kept wanting to look at the sky when played on the knee. These days, I’ve gone the other way with jumbos.

I’ve used the Elixrs in the past, they’re good. They can get a bit hairy with aggressive strumming but, other than that, they were fine. D’Addario do some extended life affairs, but I’ve not used them. https://www.daddario.com/xt-strings/

Phwoar!

Likewise, I can assemble and modify (see butcher), but building from scratch is beyond my skill set.

V builds appear to be popular on these pages. I look forward to witnessing your progress. Here's a link to another V build amongst our brethren. https://www.guitarchat.co.uk/topic/1154-tartan-terror-flying-v/?tab=comments#comment-5118

Buying stuff, selling stuff, building stuff, the very ‘stuff’ we thrive on. Looking forward to your posts.

Rhett Shull recently broke his collarbone and to keep his channel putting out videos, he’s been having guests join him. This week was Tomo Fujita helping give a beginners’ guide to funk guitar. Previous collaborators have been Chris Buck and Tim Pierce.

I’ve used them on stud walls, using the correct, heavy duty, screw in, Rawlplug affairs, in 2 different houses (they’re a b@stard to fill and smooth when you move out, I can tell you), never had a guitar or bass (some real boat anchors in there too) head floorwards.

Punning on this subject makes me cross.

I use an identical product, but under the name String Swing. I’ve hung all sorts from them, including nitro cellulose finishes, never had an issue. If memory serves, the typical hangers in places like Guitar Guitar look like the same finish and they obviously have all sorts of exotica (as well as cheaper instruments) hanging off of them. https://www.amazon.com/String-Swing-CC01KOAK-Hardwood-Studio/dp/B0002GLCRC

If desperate, there’s always Halfords .

I almost had the Space Echo in my list. I tried one in a shop back in the ‘80s and was mightily impressed and, of course, Brian Setzer uses them and I’m a big fan of his. In fact, I must edit my guitar list.

It was my first thought, but the Zendrive into a clean Brunetti gets me very close to a Dumble.

Ooh, this is for me! Although, I’m a bit sad about the Dumble ODS as that was my first thought. However, I’ll make do. Guitars: Anderson Drop T with P90s; Gibson Eric Johnson ES335; Gretsch Brian Setzer signature 6120. Amps: Brunetti Mercury 50 with matching 2x12; Suhr Bella combo. FX: Strymon Flint; Strymon Big Sky; Strymon El Capistrano; Fuzz Face; ; Zendrive.

You're among many Basschat friends here. Tone beats chops everyday for me too, which explains a lot about some of my favourite guitarists: Eric Johnson, Robben Ford...

Yeah, I saw that in the photos, well done for making that abundantly clear both in the the above post and your photos; good on yer!

Cor, that’s a blast from my past. I remembered when they first came out and were advertised in Guitar magazine (the old one that was plain paper, including the covers), my guitar teacher always had a copy you could read whilst you waited for your lesson. GLWTS.

I know what you mean. I was a big Schaller strap lock fan, then I moved to Dunlop's and now I’m back with standard buttons and Grolsch rubber seals. However, I do have one guitar with a set of those rugby ball shaped buttons, they’re rather good. GLWTS.
