Wouldn't that be awesome?? 🙃

Pine bodies are out there as well! There's fuck all choice here in Oz and what is here seems to be Chinese in origin and expensive, it's the downside to living in paradise.

Possibly. But my Deluxe is a boat anchor! I'd like a really nice light Tele.

He said paulownia wouldn't be a problem, he was most worried about working with a non-Fender body which may turn out to be all over the shop dimensionally.

TBH I shouldn't be cheaping out on what will be a really amazing instrument. Who buys a hundred dollar body and then spends another six hundred getting it modded?? Back to MarketPlace!!

Very kind of you. 🙃 Interesting that particular paulownia body has hardwood inserts around the bridge, recommended for high stress areas apparently. Hmm, maybe I should stick with alder/ash/basswood then? BTW That finished purple body is only US$109. Quite a difference in price.

I'm being cheap, I should stop being cheap.

Does anyone have any experience with Allen Eden guitar bodies? Obvs cheap and Chinese but what do you say?

Joe Glaser is onboard to make me a B-bender (shame about his branding, not the best), I am now researching bodies and necks frantically. I want paulownia (~1kg!), gold and a nitro finish, the closest I can get is Paulownia, purple sparkle and poly. 🫤 I'm sure it'll be fine.

RA, actually! What is TS?

I'm currently watching this, there's now sex wee all over my couch. Would love a proper bender, mine is heavy, creaky and not great sounding. Watch this space. 🙃

Have also developed a huge crush on Kenny Vaughn, Marty Stuart's guitar player, he's so fucking cool. Saw him play with Kim Richie and Lucinda Williams back in the 90s, always loved his geeky style and tasty licks but only recently have I looked a little deeper into his story.

While I'm here, has anyone else tried Neural Amp Modeler yet? It's pretty fucking cool!!

Got it to talk to Logic and it creates some pretty great guitar sounds, it's been an absolute game changer for me. Had never heard of it until I saw Brian Wampler's video a couple of weeks ago. I've been recording feverishly ever since, it's THAT good. I've always struggled to get convincing guitar sounds in Logic.

Whatever gets you through the night, baby! Was just wondering what precipitated the change. :)

I think mine was around AU$2300 during the pandemic, first post covid shipment into Oz! It's such a great guitar, so sweet sounding. The neck did move after a few months, my tech guy fixed it no problem, he said it was a common issue with new Martins. I then got an LR Baggs pick-up fitted, was expecting great things into my DAW but it sounds a bit ropey, does the job with a bit of brutal EQ but it isn't terrific.

Dearly beloved is getting this for full on Kinks '67 vibes. I'm hoping it'll sound good straight into Logic as well!

I'm about to buy my other half a Malibu (a la Ray), how does it sound compared to the Sigma? I've got a Martin 00-15M and I can't imagine a cheapie Fender getting anywhere close to it. I know the Sigma isn't a true Martin but they sound pretty good IME.

A mate once owned one of the original 60s Fenders, he said it was absolute shite. Love the Coronado headstock, they haven't exactly replicated that, have they?

In other Fender news, I recently missed out on an 80s MIJ Paisley Tele, a total minter for only AU$1800. I slept on it and it was gone the next morning, a few days later a very similar looking guitar turned up for sale at Pedal Empire for twice the price. Still kicking myself!!

Strats are ten a penny all over Oz, I'd recommend something spicy from Fender Japan. Can't mess with the Mexican stuff either or anything 70s/80s lawsuit era, lots for you to choose from.

You're better off getting something off MarketPlace locally, Jones!

I wanna be your dog. 🐾

Damn, it's nearly 3am! :/

I have spotted 2 coaster braked conversions with flat pedals this week having never seen one at all before.

OK

Reports of my death are greatly exaggerated
