Thanks for your views, I've ordered a thinline electro-acoustic from Gear4music, my budget is not what it used to be and for what I want it for, it's perfect. There's a lot to be said for budget guitars.

I'm thinking about getting a thinline acoustic, are there any thinline acoustic owners out there? What do you like / dislike about them? What models do you recommend?

I play for a church and I switch between bass (my main instrument) and acoustic guitar (my backup), I own 3 basses (2 electric and 1 electro-acoustic) and 4 guitars (2 electric, 1 acoustic and 1 electro-acoustic) and a cajon. I always thought of myself as a bassist but now that I own more guitars than basses and I play more acoustic guitar in church than I play bass, I now simply think of myself as a musician. There are kids in our church Worship Team that play multiple instruments and put most adults to shame, one plays drums, bass, keyboards and flute. If you fancy playing something, have a go, give it a try and embrace music as a whole.

It was hard to pick just three because there are so many guitarists that have influenced me and all for different reasons but, I went for the three that I enjoy listening to the most; Michael Schenker Billy Gibbons Rory Gallagher

Same here, I've got standard buttons and rubber strap locks on all my guitars and basses now. Don't get me wrong, Schaller locks are bl**dy good at what they do, it's just down to my personal preference.

UPDATE - ALL SETS NOW SOLD I've fallen out of love with Schaller Strap Locks so I'm having a clear out. I have the following up for grabs; 1 set of old style Schaller strap locks in black - SOLD 2 sets of no-name `Schaller' style strap locks in black - SOLD I'm open to offers if someone wants to take the lot in one go. DM me if interested. Prices include delivery.

I always wanted a Strat with a single humbucker, after purchasing a Squier Bullet Strat HSS and some modding, I’m pleased with the outcome

@ezbass You are right, I took some time away from the table and I realised that the wiring of a Squier humbucker is actually the same as a single coil, I soldered the two white leads and now it’s alive

I decided to turn a Squier Bullet Strat SSH to just a humbucker, i snipped where I thought I needed to and no I’ve got no output. Below is a pic of what’s left, any ideas?
