  1. Maybe it's short for "comb acknowledgement" as in, "we know they exist, we just cant be bothered"
  2. I don't get as much time to spend on it as I would like so all pointers gratefully accepted
  3. Anyone bought one if these ? http://m.aliexpress.com/item/32337239337.html Looks like an American standard clone with blocks and binding
  4. Do they work well for plastic appliances or are they just good for metal ?
  5. Is it my imagination or are they a bit light on fender clones?
  6. Thin metal possibly Just loving that battered 71 P
  7. Geek99

    Gone

    Nice It's a big price item and such things take time to sell, even "normal" modern items aren't selling quickly
  8. How lucky it's not still sunburst or I would have been forced to sell children in order to buy it
  9. Sally Phillips pictures - back of the net!
  10. [quote name='Geek99' timestamp='1434231113' post='2797881'] How do they do that lacquer crazing ? Nice though [/quote] I've since read that this can be done by putting the body in a freezer overnight then warming it up quickly. Apparently you rub shoe polish in whilst the body is still cold
  11. How do they do that lacquer crazing ? Nice though
  12. Looks just like mine although my plate didn't have thumb rest holes
  13. The rosewood precision has what I wanted but you've also made me realise that there is significant variation in red
  14. Thanks it's actually not too far off
  15. [quote name='ballstomonty' timestamp='1434121575' post='2796940'] Well it's back home after a 3 hour round trip. Sound great. Desperately needs a set up, clean and a new set of strings so it's off down the local shop as with one year old baby I don't get time for such things. [/quote] I hear that ...
  16. [quote name='bassbiscuits' timestamp='1434147083' post='2797231'] That's a fair point about the cutouts looking a bit scruffy - I was more thinking about the colour to be honest, which looks ok to me. [/quote] This is what I wanted thanks - comments on colour from owners of the real thing, 70s red tort was what I wanted It's not quite the dark wine red colour I wanted but it's not bad colour wise. Cutout issues were easily solved I can't justify paying spitfire7s prices and I don't have time to make a decent job out of a blank wd tort sheet. Bass doc did point me towards some ultra red stuff they do (when he did my build) but I can't spare the time to make one.
  17. [quote name='KiOgon' timestamp='1434144089' post='2797207'] Sorry - but it looks cheap to me & judging by the close up around the jack socket it doesn't look very well cut either, I'd suggest you didn't pay a lot for it [/quote] Some wire wool resolved that A lot of looked like burrs was actually plastic film
  18. What are people's (constructive!) thoughts on its quality ? Vintage tort owners please also comment https://www.dropbox.com/s/e5cmzq5jy9pbskd/file%2012-06-2015%2019%2047%2032.jpeg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/jloubtndjt8x34j/file%2012-06-2015%2019%2047%2018.jpeg?dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/s/zy535o84p2dc7rk/file%2012-06-2015%2019%2046%2038.jpeg?dl=0 Thanks
  19. I had one of these too, I put a floyd rose on it stupidly
  20. What do those knobs do ? Is the placing logical ? Nice woodwork though and ckearly very nice timber and work
  21. Yes he is a bit skint I hear
  22. If they bought out a sunburst precision with tort and a jazz maple neck and a really good heavy relic I might be tempted (at a decent price) Mike dirnt sells loads at a low price point
