My common-or-garden 2015 US Standard, which I picked up from FB marketplace about 6 months ago. It has its fair share of dings, but you know what? It's absolutely great. Fit & finish is incredible, feels amazing, sounds amazing. These things are a lot of bass for the money.

Another Eagles tribute show in Hexham, Northumberland. Nice to have a monitor after persevering with IEMs at the last gig. Old school, but.. I prefer it. Also used my new Jazz for a bit. It's lovely, but I’m not sure stacked knobs - or white - is for me. We'll see. Next stop... Rotherham!

I kinda should like them, and I've tried for years, but for some reason I just find the drums really jarring. They never seem to sit right. That said, I absolutely adore Slàinte Mhath and bits of Brave.

Or a Geordie Showaddywaddy covers band… Wadeeswhowaddywaddy

Well that’s an absolute Bobby Dazzler. That guard! Nice one.

Not any more...!

I think you mean 'triplicate post'..?

Yeah, I agree. As ever, the pickguard is the Achilles heel, but I can live with it.

I hope so!

Yes indeed!

Hey gang! I'm a P guy, but one of my bands needs a J really, so I've been on the lookout for something for a while. Was hoping for something LPB or Charcoal Frost, but this popped up, and I couldn't resist. It's a Custom Shop Journeyman relic, so think closet classic with slightly less shine and the occasional ding. I know relics are polarising, but I think they nailed it with this one - it glows. Medium-weight alder body (guessing 9lbs or thereabouts), quartersawn neck, slab board.. and stacked knobs which will take a little getting used to in the heat of the moment. Haven't gigged it yet, but it sounds gorgeous so far. Really rich and resonant. Roll on next weekend! ]]

Wait.. you thought that massive shadow was a gap??? Crikey.

I think there's too much being read into the headstock colour. Look at the shadows. It's just being hit with a really bright (and probably quite cool) flash. It looks much more 'normal' here:
