What is this old money you speak of @tv101 and @robin

I have heard speculation about it before but have never found a definitive answer. 🤣

Make guitars, not war 🌍✌️🎸

I sold my MIM Strat - it had stayed in its case for quite a while - did a fret level on it just before I sold it so it did play well.   

Does mean that I now need a Strat type - time for an Exotica build.....

Measure once........ Measure again......... Sod it - make tea!

Old money is what we had before VAT was invented. It had to be changed, no one knew how to calculate 17 1/2 % of 6lbs 19s 11d.  Don't worry about it, just be ready to convert you're cash to groats when you move up here. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

I was about to say something similar @Robin, but then I remembered that there are a few Scottish people on this forum, and I didn't want to offend ...

@robin and @tv101 I am willing to leave everything behind and convert to a good old fashioned bartering/haggling system. Stuff the pound. 😁🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

@boo. We've moved on from the crank Boo but you still have to put a coin in the meter to get it to light up. 😁

Carry on offending TV, the more we're offended, the more likely to become independent. Guitar making will still be international though.
