Saw one of these locally on Craigs for 500 and should have jumped on it. Bloody lockdown.

That’s lush! I love flame maple.

You’re a gentleman of exquisite taste. Black definitely better on burst. Very happy with mine, not touched another guitar since I finished it. The jones for an archtop remains strong though...

For anyone that likes Telecasters....lovely player. Sounds and looks disarmingly similar to the big lebowski. Definitely worth a follow.

I used Tru Oil on the neck of my tele. It’s similar to Tung but easier to work with. Takes a while to apply as you have to rub on many very thin coats but it polishes up beautifully and feels fab.

Standing up is the most unnatural part coming from a road background. That and leaning the bike, not your body and grabbing a big fistful of gas to sort out most problems...good work for giving it a proper go.
Either the 400 or 650 DR would be fine for both - I’d probably go with the 400, it’s a lot more modern, better off and just as good on road. The 650 is just simpler and lazier for cruising.

I love riding off road. There’s such a sense of adventure and sliding around everywhere is a total gas.
Worth looking at supposedly mundane stuff like DR650s - they actually handle well on the street and can take on way more serious off road than you’re likely to find on your doorstep. Tough as nails too.
DRZ400s are also incredibly good. Bit less relaxed for long distance but my mate has done 300 mile days on his without much bother. Also tough as nails.

This was from a couple of weeks back.

I see a dirt bike in your future matey. Get some!
Yeah me too - that's one of the cheapest laminate topped ones (AR371) - they're supposed to be fab. I actually like the laminate sound a lot, though if I was ever feeling flush the AR805s are incredible.
