It’s a Stagg  SW203.

@rocknroller912 maybe Mr B could knock up a BYO archtop course before the new year 🤣

Sneaked in a few non guitars things as well hoping I don’t get booted out.

@rocknroller912 It’s fine, it’s all stringed instruments. Nice work. 👍

Cut & Measure

My favourite at the moment is a very short one, the sound of a beer can opening. Never get bored with listening to it. @rocknroller912 I’ll take that too and the top coming off a nice bottle of Scottish whisky….   Read more»
