Sod it Mike, you've just scared me big time.

Scarred knobs and spinning pots ripping wires, sounds like something out of Indiana Jones.

It's going to the luthiers next Tuesday as booked!

(Though I can quite happily change strings!)

I'm sure all will be fine, as I take my cars to mechanics, even though I'm told how "easy" it is to do myself. Then I blow them up!

You keep mentioning this lust for blowing up cars.

Is there something you need to tell us Mike?

No, they just blow up on me, and not in that cool Wendy O Williams kind of way. Ain't a car made I can't kill, don't know why, It's just my curse.

Well, the guitar is done and I'm chuffed to bits with it.

Here are a couple of pictures, but when the weather improves I will get the guitars outside for some pictures that will really show how amazing they look.

I've also just bought some Scratch X and Zymol so they will be getting a good polish too.

Looks great!!

Looking good Rob!

BEAUTY! You just boosted your guitar's coolness factor to 11....

There now,that was easy to let your luthier do it and it came out perfect Rob. We will expect to see you playing it on name that tune!
BTW, looks killer dude!!!

thats nothing mel!slung round my neck would take that guitar to cool factor 99. Robs makes Quasimodo look cute!

very nice rob that 360 looks evil

Thanks guys.

I'm embarrassed to say this but the first thing I did when I got the guitar home was stand in front of the mirror with it!

I normally have the 360/12 quite high on my body to make playing it easier, but I'm afraid that this beauty is gonna be slung low from now on, it looks like a stealth bomber and sounds like an orchestra on acid!

Rock on!!

My next 'Name that tune' will definitely be played on this killer, I should have it posted tomorrow.

Thanks again for all your kind comments, and the usual insults! (ScottySpottyBotty!)

dont look in that mirror too long Rob!

That's a great look Rob.

Shame that you now need to take it all off to get the best from a Scratch-X 'n' Zymol session

Hmm, perhaps this could be a new picture section "Me in the mirror lovin' my Rickenbacker"

Don't worry about it Rob, any one who says they haven't once stood in front of the mirror with their guitar on is a big fat LIAR!!!!!!!
