What do you guys recommend? I want warm, mellow sounds, sub £500 (so I guess below $800), happy to go secondhand.

Took me a while and a lot of wheeler dealing, but I finally got a Strat I've had my eye on for a couple of months. Custom Shop Blackie body refinned, Custom Shop Fat 50s pups and an old Fullerton '57 neck. I am in love.

So, I've got a Jazzmaster all ready to go bar the pickups and electronics - any suggestions? What do you have in your JM? Any advice/recommendations on pups/electronics/wiring etc. gratefully received...

Is it me, or is this both gorgeous and pretty well priced? I may have to pull the trigger... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Fender-Fullerton-Custom-Shop-Relic-Parts-Strat-STUNNING_W0QQitemZ320441261262QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Musical_Instruments_Guitars_CV?hash=item4a9bc99cce

I'd tried a few Deans at a guitar show a couple of years back and loved the fit, finish and feel, but they were all a little (OK, a lot) too metal for me, so I forgot all about them. Then I saw the Japanese Soltero and thought 'Nice, but waaaay too much money'. So I forgot all about them. Then...

I've been really getting into P90s and specifically single pickup models, straight into a tube amp, lately. Something about the purity is really appealing to me at the moment, that Black Keys kind of vibe. So, I'd bumped a guitar and was on the lookout for something when I stumbled across...

be good for picking up cheap axes. Just got this Greco 1980 Super Real . The guy I bought it off has really gone to town on it - klusons, Bigsby B7 tremolo unit a la Neil Young, Graphtech nut and bridge saddles, Gibson 345 varitone click switch with custom made pewter cast dial...he also...

Someone offered me silly money for my Menatone Fish Factory (almost enough to pick up a Tele I had my eye on) so I thought sod it, I'll sell it and get the Tele. Which I did. Which left me OD-less. I picked up a Monte Allums-modded Boss Blues Driver cheap, but that did not do it for me at all...

What do you guys think...something seems odd to me... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Gibson-1984-90th-Anniversary-Hummingbird-Guitar_W0QQitemZ280275006438QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item280275006438&_trkparms=72%3A1298%7C39%3A1%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C240%3A1318&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

Any Strat fans tell me what they think of the upgrades this guy's gone for? Any opinions welcome from Stratheads... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320301280978&_trksid=p2761.l1259

Looks cool, but what is it? Custom Shop Standard??? Is this a Catalina or something else? It looks so wrong that it's right... http://www.coda-music.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=170&products_id=3370

I changed career a couple of years ago (journalist to teacher) and I promised myself that when I qualified I'd but myself my first decent acoustic...today was the day. I spent a couple of hours with a dealer who specialises in vintage and boutique acoustics, just trying out guitars. I really...

This ASAT Classic is going for the same sort of price as a 52RI - good deal? They are hard to get to play in the UK; are they as good as people say? http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/G-L-ASAT-Classic-Electric-Guitar-Leo-Fender_W0QQitemZ300210702312QQcmdZViewItem

and general acoustic duties...what would you go for and why? OO size, or bigger? Anyone played an old Gibson LB-1 or B25?

66 Mustang arrived today...
