I can't see this one. I could (yesterday?) see all your previous pics but they are now gone!

If you use Flickr - go to camera roll , click to expand the thumbnail (top right of the image ) , then you can copy and paste here. 
This works on a PC, not sure if you can do it by other devices.

I looked at this thread a few days ago and could not see the photographs, I assumed it was my PC - came back for another look today to find it's not just me.  

I hope you can sort it using Flickr or similar, I was looking forward to seeing the works from Ancoats.

I like the look of that Islington, I love a good LP Junior! I idly went through the order sheet and racked up some mods before I got a grip on myself - very tempting!

Nice work fella

Imgur.com is the best for getting pics on here.

Thanks dude! I always suggest having a beer or two before getting on the order form  If you have any feedback about the form though I'm all ears - its a new addition to the website. Thanks.

Finally got the pickups for these delivered today. Can't wait to get them out to their owners.  (Used Imgur for this upload as well so might have actually cracked it)

Ancoats_Guitars

Been working on this recently too. It's going to be a stand alone version of the new Islington. Basically a fully spec'd out New Islington with that cool deep German carve, 2 Tele pickups wired 4 way, locking tuners, Les trem and roller bridge, fully chambered ash body so it's nice and light. Can't wait to get this one finished! The names I'm thinking so far are either the NI 'deuce' or the NI '2x4'. What do you think?

Chris.B

Your photographs are appearing for me now - you've cracked it!

Nice work, it's good to see some innovation in your designs. 

Ancoats_Guitars

#004  finished. It sounds and plays great. Really pleased with this one.  

Dontgiveupyourdayjob

^^^ Looks cool. Great to see a bit of real originality in the design! 

Need to get some good demo videos up to hear what it sounds like. 

Ancoats_Guitars

Hey. I've made a few very basic videos about the first few guitars out the door. Any recommendations for an easy way to record the amp properly so it's not just phone audio. Ideally something I can keep in the workshop.
