Congratulations to Amy Williams but what the hell possesses anyone to jump on a tea tray and launch themselves down a mountain is beyond me.

@Stu - you are right!!! Go much for free clipart! I'll correct and send myself to gaol... my only saving grace is that I'm in the old colony at the moment :-)
I'm building a new guitar. So three things influenced this one. A hybrid tele / Strat body I saw, an interesting neck and particularly an interesting electronics option. Here are the bits as arrived. The body is a telecaster shape, telecaster neck pocket, telecaster control cavity but routed for 3 Strat pickups and a Strat style vibrato bridge. The control cavity makes it different to many hybrid Telecasters a la the John Mayer model which have a more Strat like control cavity. The body was advertised as "mahogany" it's quite red in nature but nice looks to be two piece centre jointed. The neck is mahogany with a maple fingerboard and a maple skunk strip. So a bit reverse look from normal. Electronically I'm going with three Strat pickups from Tonerider, having used there nashville set in the nashville tele conversion I did I was impressed. Five way switch master volume and tone. But I'm putting in a shape shifter switch ...
Folks will remember my purchase a few weeks back of the Vintage Gordon Giltrap VE2000GG 12 string to replace my old Yamaha which sadly has seen better days... My requirement was for a nice playable 12 string electro-acoustic. Most of my stuff is as you know acoustic rock orientated in the David Gray, John Mayer genre. I'd had my eye on a Gordon Giltrap for a couple of years now anyway since a) I'm a big Giltrap fan b) I'd heard said Mr Giltrap use the 6 string version live a couple of times and was impressed c) it seems incredible value for money. Now then my life was made a touch my complicated by the appearance of the Paul Brett signature 12string. This is a slight oddity in that this is a parlour sized guitar which to be honest wasn't my initial desire but has received rave reviews and also has been designed as a 12string from the ground up - unlike the Gordon Giltrap which is an adaptation of a 6 string design. Not unusual to be fair most 12 strings ar...
