  1. Twelve pictures, for an item priced at £4.78 BIN. Twelve.
  2. Nice. That's an elegant headstock design, IMO, not that easy to do. Good luck with your sale
  3. Both ends of that are ugly, but in different ways.
  4. Well, that's prettier than most Fenders...
  5. I was hoping it was an actual viola, TBH.
  6. I get (got!) Q as a freebie from my bank account (all the other options being less interesting ... !). I won't miss it, personally.
  7. Possibly related to the body thickness before and after? Would that not alter one of the resonant frequencies of the body?
  8. Nice! I particularly like the way the tort scratchplate makes it seem to be sunburst without actually being GLWYS!
  9. That's sort of a telebass Yamaha BB, only more so...
  10. IMO the major use of a 5 is to make playing easier (two octaves almost under the hand). So I disagree; because making it easier to play means that the players can make music more easily.
  11. Firstborn child, probably.
  12. Got to be "scratchplate". "Pickguard" is both harder to say and harder to type, and therefore is officially Silly.
  13. The Sinsonido is a nice bit of kit, IMO. Good to travel with, makes a noise all its own. Sadly they never made a five-string.
  14. I'm tempted to nab it and get it defretted. But since I'm probably going to be laid off next week, that doesn't seem wise, somehow Good luck with your sale!
  15. I was thinking of the Cherrystone. I did find the Sandalwood up on eBay, but it obviously wasn't the same. Possibly it's just really light? Some people might think that was enough, perhaps?
  16. Couldn't find one on eBay. I'll keep my eyes open. Possible they're not made any more though.
  17. I like it. Just so long as it's not in the same room as me. :reaches for garlic, stake and crucifix:
  18. These or something extremely similar pop up on eBay now and again, new I think. I can't remember the price or the name. (Helpful, me.) Possibly the bouts are dismountable for travel? Don't remember this as a listed feature though. Possibly someone tried to work out what it was and saw pics of an Aria Sinsonido (dismountable wire bouts with foam padding) and thought "Oh that's it"...
  19. Moved jobs since then, but yeah, collection would be a snip. Ah well. Sorry
  20. Nice! If I didn't have a BEX-4 I'd be after this. I do like that white lining in the F-holes, very elegant
  21. Lovely :) Thanks!
  22. Erm, "no income" is not a first-world problem! Good luck with your sale!
