Nothing too exciting but I dropped off some rubbish at my local refuse dump today and found this sitting on the side and the guys let me have it. It's in pretty good nick and I'll check all's working, put some new strings on it etc and see what gives.

    Cheers and Kebab Jr might benefit from it, if it's ok, or I might dig out a Charlie Chandler Guitar Set-Up And Maintenance book I have and have a dabble at that side of things.

    Nice result, I went to the tip last Sunday and an old dear tried to palm her well used bright-pink suitcase onto me. This is much better.

    Bargain! You now have a 'mule' for the purposes of experimentation.

    Hhmmm, to the untrained (wife's) eye, that looks just like a Custom Shop '62, I wonder if I can buy one and get away with saying I found it at the tip, just like yours.

    She'll just counter that with the 6 pairs of Jimmy Choo's she 'found' in the local Oxfam shop. They ALWAYS find out.

    Nice one :) Even if it just becomes your alt-tunings guitar, it's very cool you've saved it from the landfill.

    Wow! Great find! At our dump they would have not parted with it unless a backhander was involved.

    I suggest you buy a CS Strat in the same colour and steadily mod the encore by replacing all the parts one by one.

    Well, the refuse employee I first approached said I could take it but afterwards, one of his colleagues approached me and said a drink was in order and strictly speaking, I wasn't allowed to take it and was quite stroppy. I mentioned this to the original guy and asked if he wanted anything for it, a tip etc and he said "No, you're ok". I then returned to "Mr On-The-Make" and told him what his colleague had said and that if he was willing to give me his name, I'd gladly leave him a couple of cans on the front desk of the Civic Offices. He backed off pretty sharpish and said "That won't be necessary"!

    I think that's the same as my first electric. It belonged to my mates dad and when I finally got something better I gave it back. Wonder if he finally chucked it out!?
