Guitars anyone???

A nice little Washburn acoustic, although it’s a bit boring at the moment, so I think we’re gonna have to pimp it IH style!
Definitely needs a 21oz denim guitar strap and maybe @Steve would be up for adding a custom graphic or something. Anyone else got any ideas?

@George-Homme Beautiful. Love the dark burst

@George-Homme Ooh, very nice!

When I booked flights from Australia to the UK a few weeks ago, I looked into business class, but the price differential was over $6000 (Aussie) each way. I'd seen a Gibson Theodore in a local shop for $7000, so flying economy meant I would be able to buy that and come out ahead.
Surely that makes it a sensible purchase?
(No, I didn't get it. I probably should.)

Just picked up a 1964 Fender Bassman matching head and cab at a local pawn shop for $900 this afternoon. Don't really need it, but will likely use it to trade for something else.

@chrisjohnnick That is a great pickup for under a grand. Nice one

Richard Fortus of Guns 'n' Roses played a Dakota One built by Ivison Guitars at Glastonbury. There's an article at Guitar World that tells the story.
Unfortunately, I now have the urge to ask Neil Ivison to build me a single pickup Hurricane '59...
If you want more stories about obscure British luthiers making instruments for famous musicians, Simon Farmer of Gus Guitars made Prince's last guitar. Vanity Fair has the story.
I saw an early Gus guitar at a music show years ago. I don't think the design has changed greatly since, but they look really interesting.
