  1. I've just bought a Cordoba Stage and love it - absolutely stunning looking in the edge burst finish. It was this or the Tim Henson but YT reviews suggested the neck was more to my liking on the Cordoba and I couldn't live with the marks on the matt black finish on the Ibanez TH
  2. Just browsing the web the other night and came across this and on looks alone I knew I had to have it. I watched the youtube reviews which were all really positive but was still cynical as I had fallen for the reviews on the Lava ME guitar which I though was a pile of trash. Anyway I pulled the trigger and bought from Andertons knowing I could send it back if it didn't work out. The guitar arrived the next day. It came in a lovely padded quality gigbag so first impressions were good. I got the guitar out and it was stunning ( I know this bit is subjective !) with the flip paint job and headless roasted neck. I tuned it up and it had been set up perfectly, the action was fantastic and intonation correct. I bumbled through setting up the app which controls it - the manual is very brief and does not give you anywhere near enough info, however from what I'd seen on Youtube I got it working. I played it through a newly revalved and Celestioned up HTR-1 amp using the wireless dongle straight into the amp. The guitar has fanned frets which I'd never played on before, but within minutes I didn't even notice them. So I've put it through its paces over the last couple of nights and it is truly phenomenal. The presets are brilliant and infinitely adjustable - none of the widdly robot sounds that you get on multieffects as filler. The modelling guitar feature definitely changes tone - whether it replicates a '58 LP I'm not sure but just scrolling through the models I could get some lovely tones. Volume and tone knobs are really responsive .The guitar has a built in looper/ drum machine which worked well - I subsequently stumped up for the wireless footswitch to make it work even better and was that impressed with the tones and flexibility even ordered the Prime P2 to use with my other guitars. In summary, this guitar might even be the best one I've ever bought and there have been lots , customs , Fenders, Gibsons, Ricky's - but none of them had ever been set up this well or had the OMG factor this one has Anyways it's nice to report something this good rather tha being underwhelmed.
  3. Spotted a Chapman ML3 modern on facebook marketplace at a good price last weekend so pulled the trigger and absolutely loved it. So much so I bought an ML1 Pro this weekend ( I really do need a bigger house !) This is one of the best looking and playing guitars I've owned (it's so bassy !)even when compared to custom build territory like my Ambler. Now I need the green sparkly semi - hollow one and a baritone to complete the collection !
  4. I've just had Bloodstone build me a set of handwired P90's to replicate Bareknuckle Blue Notes . More than £30 but much less than the BK's ! Do it Tom !!!
  5. Is the Crayola Builder in Lead Zeppelin ?
