New to me...a 425V63

[kiramdear]

Congratulations, Mark.

That's sweet!

Is that a full-scale neck?

[godber]

Thanks guys, I'm thoroughly enjoying this one.

Kira - yes it's full scale, 21 frets.

Nice guitar Mark!

Guitar village?

[godber]

Yeah, I got it less than asking price, but it's in worse condition than described. I'm taking expert advice from the master to improve the finish and it plays too nice to send it back!

[fireglo67]

I'd heard some bad things about Guitar Village, but at least you are happy to keep the guitar!

Did it come with a case?

Doesn't he have a dodgy Tardis?

Yeah a vintage silver one - it's got a couple of nicks, no keys, but it looks nice. The guitar does move around in it though (um...only when I'm moving it though...not when it's on it's own, in the room...kind of thing... if you see what I mean).

I would get a SKB case for it if it was being gigged - I love this guitar!

No, but he has paint shop and produces the finest finishes on the finest boys toys

I have heard that hes a time lord from Gallifrey and they cast him out due to him taking too much time over the CV spray booth tho!

Mark's BG 425V63 and mine have consecutive serial numbers...

I like that, it's cool isn't it. Consecutive guitars come off the line, go to different parts of the world and end up being talked about here.

It is indeed a small world.

Any chance of hearing the little beauty in action Mark?

All the 425v63's and 450v63's were made in December '99, according to the register. Last new model of the 20th century?

That's quite iconic isn't it? Brilliant stuff.

The strings are off and I'm building up the courage to get out the sandpaper
