Darren, I like the lefty picture, it looks just like my spare bedroom!

Ready whenever you and Darren are, Greg! It was teriffic to meet you and I hope we can get together on a regular basis. My thanks to Darren and Robyn also.
Next time I won't lug 10 guitars, a back-breaking amp and sundry other bits ad pieces half way across Melbourne, though!! It was 9.30 before I got everything unpacked and back in its spot!
Next time it will be only a few guitars (including the 350 you nearly walked out with), a smaller amp and some bits and pieces!!

That's pretty amazing guys.
But no wonder I had all the trouble in the world finding one to buy in the shops!
It'd be great to join you with my FG 360 and my soon-to-arrive (I hope) Blueburst 620 next year. On the other hand, it would also be a great excuse to come down empty handed and be forced to buy something in Melbourne so I can join in!

Hi Carl. Nice to hear from you again.
When you consider that only 4 of the guitars and one bass were purchased 'new' (2004 or 2005 build - from a shop), I'm confident that we're not cornering the market. There just aren't any coming in to the country at present (although I heard that a bass turned up unannounced at a dealer down here last week).
You are more than welcome any time, Carl - you don't even have to wait until next year if the opportunity arises - come on down!!!
