its still cracks me up dave, look it goes to 11   i must watch it again soon,

[Zed]

well thats me done for now, been fun fiddling with it for a few days, i might pick up another scratch plate ill see, plays ok, does me alright 

[Zed]

I think if i go down the EVH type paint scheme i might be better doing his #1 guitars paint job, much easyer, and a little subtler 

[DaveK]

A bit revolting though, don't you think?

[ryan1835]

nah i just think its way over done

i like it with a black base with yellow stripes though

[Zed]

A bit revolting though, don't you think?

   just reminds me of the 80's , dont worry dave its just a though, i prefer the grunge look , the 80's was very flash   unlike my playing

The 80s. Shudder.

I couldn't stand Van Halen or any of those US "heavy metal" bands myself. Many of them could play, but I was more accustomed to Black Sabbath being a Brummie lad.

Speaking of distressing have a look at Fender's Roadworn series or their Custom Shop Relics   They know how to charge  

[DaveK]

I'm more of a Gibson type of guy myself

Did you ever go to the Club Lafayette in Wolverhampton, Dave? It might have closed before you were old enough   It's now a casino, but in it's day had all the bands from the 60's onwards.

I understand but Fenders have a great spanky thing going on 

[DaveK]

I never went to the Lafayette Chris, the only venues I really know in Wolverhampton are the Civic and Wulfrun Halls - been there a few times for gigs. I played in a couple of pubs in Wolves too a long time ago. The Coach and Horses rings a bell for some reason 

I went looking for some old photos of my old white "custom" Les Paul copy but drew a blank. I did find a couple of snaps of me playing a different Les Paul copy in some practice session. I'd guess I was about 19 looking at the 'tache and dress sense

They haven't scanned too well, but they'll give everyone something to laugh at

[Zed]

[ryan1835]

dave can sing too, hell have to a MT.ORG song for us

[DaveK]

I can't sing for toffee, I do nice backing vocal "harmonies" though  

Looks like I'm doing one of my trademark "oooooooooooh's" in that one

[Magic Bus]

Jake Burns and  SLF at the Laf, 1977 I think



Guitar is a Yamaha SG2000. In the background right you can just see the bouncer who nutted my mate just for the hell of it. He was a complete bas~~rd, we lived in fear  

[DaveK]

Lol. Great pic that Chris

I didn't see SLF until 1983 myself (I was only 10 in '77), saw them at the Hummingbird (now the Carling Academy) in Brum I think it was
