I've got a late 60s JEM wah pedal I was given by a friend years ago. One of those pedals I use for about 5 minutes then remember that I can't get a decent sound out of it and put it away again.

Worth a fair bit these days.

Big prs fan so delighted when I saw the new s2 custom 24 10th anniversary model in the andertons sale .I have a custom 24 s2 already but the anniversary model is a different ball game .Only 1000 made and unlike the s2 Korean hardware this actually had the usa 85/15 pickups and US electronics (pots etc) and machine heads .
£800 off the rrp and I bought it online at 2pm yesterday and it arrived today at 10am

Thanks...I must have got the spelling wrong as I thought of my mate Jem rather than Gem as per the link. Maybe I should sell it since I never use it.

Happy new PRS day Franki68. I had a look on their sales section, but I seem to be in that odd position that I can't really see anything else I want at the moment. I know I should hand in my guitarist's membership card, but 15 including a bass and an acoustic is really enough I suppose, especially since I tend to only gig with one Strat.

I’ve always felt that if I had to only have one guitar it would be a strat. Everything else just feels like a fun toy. A Strat is, imho, the do-it-all guitar.

1997 PRS Swamp Ash Special with McCarty hum buckers and Seymour Duncan Vintage rails. I bought it from new, it’s quite an early one, <300 serial number. Excuse the winged tuner OCD nightmare, took it for a setup and came back like this

Went out fully intending to land a classic bourbon burst LP as my first Gibson… so naturally came back with a 60’s Standard in transfuschia!

I didn’t need it , and with 15 you certainly don’t need anything , it was just too good a price .& popped up after me being surprised by a comparison between the USA pups and the Korean ones .
The other custom 24 will be sold now .

Can't blame you though, looks a nice guitar plus you'll recoup some cost selling your other custom 24.

I feel like I've been a bit extravagant over the more recent years (I only had one Strat for 13 years at one point), though most of mine aren't over £500, only one special one bought after I lost my Dad (limited edition red Rickenbacker) is worth a decent amount. I often wonder if I'd be a better player if I'd just stuck with the one Strat all these years though as I got a bit distracted buying/building other ones. I do enjoy playing the different ones from time to time though, so I guess that's justification enough...just that there isn't really anything else I lust after now I guess. Even when I do I seem to go off the idea after a little while...

That's absolutely gorgeous, any chance of more pics of it out the case?

Stunning colour! Yes to more pics.

Transfuschia LP 60s Standard as requested… white balance might be a tad off and sorry for the reflections

[M5-911]

Really stunning instrument!

[AdeTuono]

I'm getting one of these..

That good old constant, n+1, has struck and a Duesenberg Starplayer TV has somehow joined the fold…

great service from Music Street in Huntingdon who took a load of time to indulge my questions, encouraged my trying out options, and then (very effectively) tweak the instrument to increase immediate playability/enjoyment.
