Arrived today. It's in dire need of the Scratch-X and Zymöl treatment, but it sounds fantastic. My first Burgundyglo, what a great colour! Smashing little guitar this, really enjoyable to play.

Nice!I recently got one as well, absolutely love the thing.

Yeah really good fun. The extremes in volume between the up and down selector settings are interesting!

Yep! I've pretty much found the best setting is switch up, volume at 10, tone at 0 (it's a reverse pot).

+1

I also quite like the thinner sound for playing without a plectrum, where it still cuts through, and with a plectrum for an Orange Juice/Postcard shrill tone.

Nice one Mark! dont tell me your over your 330 fetish! congratulations my friend great guitar!

Cheers Scotty!

The 330s are staying...hmm what about a 340?

"You see this picture"
"I do indeed see the representation of the stringed instrument"
"That's you guitar, that is"

You know where it is,you know what it is,and you know how much it costs! now i just need to play it and buy it next week! and it looks nearly as good as the pic above! Unless that BBR calls my name!

Those 425 guitars are really nice, it was my first Rick, and I wish I still had it.

Congrats, Mark!

Congrats Mark! Great guitar... I must admit to admiring "minimalist" guitars - the 425, the LP Junior and the Esquire... one pickup, no frills.. fantastic!
