The delivery of the 425 to @lee650 completed in a next car park made me excited for my own delivery. What a feeling.

Just about to deliver this to @lee650 from @MoJo.

It’s been a pleasure to have my hands on this 425.

That is such a great pic, Andy! You really should enter it in one of the monthly photo comps they have in off topic - it would get my vote!

[AndyTravis]

@TheGreek would love both of them, but I need to close my eyes.

[AndyTravis]

@Al Krow

was intended to wind Lee up, but yeah - a pleasing photo

[AndyTravis]

Can’t wait to get to these tomorrow, will be lots of fun. New strings in the post and then Standard Trav Tweak,

Then the 1300 too…

Pics will follow tomorrow.

Off to enjoy a pre birthday meal with the wife in Lancaster ☺️

Tort would look great  on the white one, I think the black one on the other looks okay

Yeah. Mint green too, hmm. Lots of options. That G&L looks clean.

I wonder. Did that come via my mate Karlfer?

Looks like my old 714 - loved it.

One of the many finishes my oldest 1000ma had to face during the last 20 years .. 😛
