Nice one guys, thanks for the info!

Note the extra sticker on the upper cutaway :shock:
Is this to cover up the 'I am nobody'-scratchings?

No mate, I was referring to the extra sticker on the upper cutaway of "The Boys", in the TOTP clip of David Watts. "I Am Nobody" is a different guitar. I can see how you got confused though ...

Cool clip of I Am Nobody :D

Just saw that the other day I wonder if Weller will play it live?
Andy that Jam vid is extraordinary in a few ways
1,Ricks hair is well dyed! :shock: :lol:
2,Bruce has a nice autumn glo bass on that.I dont recall him ...

In 1994 me and a mate spent a couple of days visiting Beatles sites, such as various film locations, Abbey Road, the Apple building etc, plus their former homes. When we went to John's house in Weybridge (called Kenwood) we were very fortunate in that it had just been sold, and the new owners hadn't ...

I saw Steve playing the black Ricky quite a lot. I believe Noel Gallagher also has one. The white one with a P. I believe i saw him playing that too! :)

Indeed. According to Noel, Weller gave it to him on his 30th birthday.

In an interview not so long ago Weller said he had hardly any Riccys ...

My fave OGWT number

Hehehe, I won't argue with you there mate

Hi fella. I'm sure Mark will fill you in on the full story, but basically we got 2 of Weller's old Riccys together in the same room and some of the dudes on here were there to witness the occasion. Was a good day, and a good photo opportunity

You look very like Weller in your avatar btw!

Nice one Yeah it is interesting. Equally interesting is how come I Am Nobody doesn't have a number on the back?? Unless the guy who bought it from Weller removed it, but I can't imagine why he would have!

Ah, thanks dude, that's kind. His birthday is on Saturday so should be a good weekend :)
Any good pics I can see? Scotty sent me some but would love to see any that you have too.

Will do, pm me your email and I'll send some later.

In the meantime here is a pic of my '78 FG in the middle of a ...

Great photos Mark, thanks 8) . Craddock just gets better and better, when I saw him in May he played with such ease. The scratch plates on that guitar have white edgeing, how's that?

It's 2-ply black on white - with a bevelled edge so that the white shows nicely. I read somewhere that they were ...

Even when collapsed drunk and unconscious on the pavement, I swear that dude somehow still managed to look cool...
