I’m just down the road from Cnocbaileidh There’s a road in Cnocbaileidh now???

I am eyeing up other bits of the house as we speak! That’s a nice quilted maple front door that you used to have ... 😆

Very interesting little video on ES335 construction.

@darrenking Just to get vaguely back on-topic, briefly, the top of my SA700 measures 4.3mm thick. I don't seem to have a photo of it anywhere, but it's a MiJ 70s/80s 335 alike. Everything I find ...

*One of my favourite workhorse guitars is the Yamaha RGX A2. It is has an LED in the pickup switch. You would not believe the response this gets from other guitar players, from confusion to speechless...
