It seems like Harrison Jr is going to be getting a signature Epiphone or Gibson this year - I'm looking forward to seeing the forum chaos on that one... 

Shouldn't it be a Fender, with evidence of a refin and dubious-looking dates when you take the neck off?

If it's a straight copy of his stage guitar like claimed it'll be the only Polaris White SG Jr in the range, and probably at a reasonable price, so if they don't put any weird inlays or graphics on I expect they'll sell a bunch to both fans and SG enjoyers in the same way the Epiphone BJA Jr did!

Oh I see, Harrison Jr, Jr!  I didn't know Yungblud played guitar.

He probably doesn't :-)

Is he a Machine Gun Kelly type of act?  He kind of looks similar.

If by that you mean "not aimed at people who can remember the 90s" then yeah, he's pretty similar. My tweenage niece loves him.

I wasn't naturally inclined to give him benefit of the doubt, but I know his old flatmate who says he's lovely so I'm probably just being an old sod. Think he can play guitar about as well as any other pop-rock star doing arenas really - is anybody going to a show expecting him to whip out a quick Cliffs of Dover?

I can remember the '70s, never mind the '90s... I can even dredge up one or two isolated memories from around 1967 if I try hard... 

I didn't really mean anything, I have no idea what either MGK or Yungblud sound like but they both look sort of like "edgy" rappers who might occasionally pick up a guitar.  I know it's narrow-minded, but I can't be bothered to listen to them to find out what they actually do sound like.  Life really is too short.

I sold Steve a Gibson ES347 about 15 years ago - Traded in an ESP Tele and one of his own Signature ES175 - I was a bit of a Yes fan mid late 70's era and had a soft spot for The Clap - So I was talking to him (phone deal) about learning the Clap and I always wanted to play it - He was easy to chat with - Chatted about his collection and he invited me to visit if I was passing - It sounded a genuine invite but I was not near the A30/A38 route to Cornwall, so never made it - But came across as a nice genuine guy
