Stopped off for a burger and to throw around the remaining parcels in his van as he drives over the Maccie D speed bumps at 50 mph

Boromedic

He is busy relic'ing Legion's R8.....

It's gorgeous! Perfectly setup too. 

Happy days  

Bridgehouse

It must be here - @Legionreturns is either speechless staring at his beautiful dirty lemon or he's speechless as he pickup up all the bits of the splintered headstock...

@Legionreturns .....

@Bridgehouse shush...I'm trying to make my finger work. It's being a stubborn bastard. Power chords hurt. C chords hurt more...but I can't not play this thing! These Custom Buckers are incredible!

@Legionreturns - fickle beast, next you’ll be telling me you prefer it to bass

Boromedic

I've spent the morning looking a Stingray pickups and getting Dancing in the Moonlight right on bass... it hurts a lot less than this, so I'm sure I'll switch back later!

Well, mine arrived from Coda Music (who were great by the way - excellent customer service!) and I am so pleased with it. Even better than I was expecting to be honest, so I am delighted. Divorced as a result, but delighted otherwise.



Here it is with its Frankenstein brother that I put together myself.

That is gawjus!

The silver one is incredible - Especially the neck!!

Cheers.

Not to de-rail too much, it is a Robot body with an ebony fretboard and binding on the neck and headstock.

I got the body from America then sourced Gibson (and other) parts to re build. Pick ups are Seymour Duncan’s.

Nice one @Legionreturns ;

Do you reckon these would lose a lot, if any, upon trade in?

It isn't going anywhere! Although, once the market gets over the immediate impact of this deal, I suspect things will return to normal. £2.5k is second hand value for these give or take.

Nice one mate, looks lovely

It’ll take a few months for the market to restabilise and I think the trade in value was always going to be lower anyway but one would hope that a year from now you could get virtually what you paid on a secondhand sale.

Looks nice @Legionreturns! Just needs some robot tuners or something to really make it special!
