Damn spud, thats a beautiful guitar, how does it play?

Plays beautifully! There's a bit of a buzz at the 12th fret on the lower strings though, might get it set up properly (I'm still terrified of truss rods!)

Haha, I do think it looks cool...

It's a Copilot FX Android ring modulator, I really like it. Ring mods aren't for everyone, I know, but I love it. It's got a great Bang:Buck ratio, when I was looking for a ring mod, they all seemed pretty expensive. Eventually I'd like a MoogerFooger, but they're a bit on the expensive side for me right now. It can do that repeat percussion sort of tremolo, too, which is what swung me to pick this one over the EHX Frequency Analyser. It's got expression pedal control for the carrier frequency, too, I'm currently waiting on an expression pedal from Thomann.

How do you like the Squier 51 ? I wanted to get one of them to upgrade- the reviews seemed god, quality seemed stable and the pickup selection is different. There was one in Godwins a few months ago though, can't remember how much, probably extortionate
I've the same amp, they're very good. If you get one second hand it's pretty good value.

I like it a good bit. It's the only guitar I have with a humbucker, so it automatically feels a bit fresh. The guy who owned it before me never played it, so the strings are old and filthy, and too light for my taste anyway, so I'd probably enjoy playing it a whole lot more when I fix that up. Savage guitar for the money though, I think they're the cheapest Squier've ever made? I think my mate got his new for not all that much over €100. €100 for the wood and pickups alone is a great deal in my book. I don't like not having a tone control, though.

It's a project guitar for me, too, I want to put a tone pot in it, move that pickup selector (maybe up toward the lower horn like an Electric XII or something), put a killswitch in it, paint it blue. Then I'll love it.

And yeah, I got my amp second hand a few years ago, for my first 'real' amp, I'm not complaining at all!

The Tele looks gorgeous! What's it like to play?

Ooh! Nice Tele! :eek:

Ooooh baby!!!

Where did you get it from???

cheers lads

got it for €1150 on adverts.ie,pretty dear but as the coppercaster is fairly rare i think it'll hold it's value...unfortunately the only people who'll benefit from it will be my kids when they put me in a box!
