Ben Fleetcroft 0 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 In my privileged position as a sponsor of this forum, I thought it only appropriate to honour this with a new guitar. The link may be slightly tenous, but stay with me on this. Here at Fleetcroft Guitars, we have assembled a new instrument soley so that I can have an avatar which fits my business and this site. Here is what it is;Basswood Strat style bodyMaple neckSperzel tunersWilkinson bridgeDimarzio pickups I have just finished fitting the frets (Dunlop 6105) and the neck is being sprayed. The real clincher being the colour scheme - green body with two gold (well, yellow) pickups in the front two positions. As soon as the lacquer has set, I will post up a demo.

Backmarker 6 Posted August 10, 2011 Report Share Posted August 10, 2011 Well done that man. I took the plunge Ben with a Fender Strat copy ( in blue and complete with skunk tail ) from a local guy who builds 'em as a hobby. I've mastered a few chords ( Emj, Emn, Amj, Gmj, Dmj, Fmj and Cmj ) and I'm now working on changing between 'em fast enough to make it sound half decent. Then comes rhythm and Boulevard of Broken Dreams ( I hope ) Quote Wing Commander Dibble DFC<br /><br /> North Midlands Esprit Group<br /><br />NMEG "the formidable squadron"<br /><br /> "probably the most active Esprit group in the world" Andy Betts, Castle Combe May 2007 Link to post Share on other sites
