What's all this gubbins inside my Strat?

Sassafras

They look delicious, whatever they are.

and the Royal Horticultural Society have given it a clean bill of health - no plants or trees were destroyed in the making of the components.

I wondered what that sticker meant, I'm so pleased that I can sleep peacefully knowing that no turnips or aspidistra were needlessly slain to make this guitar.

Don't think you're off the hook - Sting has rerecorded an early solo hit in your 'honour':

'Trees trees, save de trees'
'Oh oh....'

I don't listen to Sting's solo work because he's a helmet and it's shit. Anyway, Donald Trump is taking down the tree huggers and I wouldn't be surprised if Sting was arrested and detained under a new anti eco warrior executive order.

In my day solder had REAL, TOXIC LEAD in it and sounded better. Harumpfh. (I'm surprised tone hounds don't claim to "hear" this difference by the way.)

I swear by silver solder. It increases the mass of the guitar resulting in a huge increase in sustain and 'killa toanz'.
Anyone on TGP will tell you the same thing.

Actually you're right of course, silver solder will be far better. (More conductivity.)

It's a limited edition Gubbinscaster.

"Toanz for dayz" the TGP helmets would no doubt say, apparently Trump has signed an executive order to bring back lead solder, he was quoted as saying "you smell that?, that lead smell? smells like Victory....some day this Presidency is gonna end Willard"
