25th Anniversary it’s all that….. and more..

Well folks it’s here and it’s 10000% better than I anticipated, and this guitar changes EVERYTHING!

I’ve only played this for a few minutes (had to go back to work) but it has the most resonant guitar I have EVERY played, I haven’t even plugged it in yet as I ran out of time and couldn’t stop playing it as it was.

A killer top and birdseye that will make you weap! – Will photograph later and let you know how it sounds plugged in.

If this does what I think it will when plugged in I can see me selling every other guitar I own except maybe an AL buying a 2nd one of these with a trem and that’ll do me

Confession time – I had plans to buy a semi as I really like that ‘jingle-jangle’ feel you get from them – the 25th does that too! - And about a zillion other boxes ticked!

Special Thanks to Pete @ Strings and Things and DaveB for hooking me up – I don’t know how the blind lemon hides these masterpieces waiting for my calls!!!

Poppa, I’m delighted with this guitar, thanks to you and the crew for making it, and thanks again for the offer to make me one if I couldn’t find one through the right channels,


One SERIOUSLY happy smelly man.

Told ya! Congrats Smelly, if you really plan on letting your BFR AL go...my ears are wide open (if Kev doesn't want it, of course...)...I'd even be tempted swapping the 20th with Piezo for it...
