How's the neck?

I bought a nos Sony jh24.

Buying a lot of racks and snakes.

Probably too soon to say for sure, but so far I like it. I tend to prefer bolt-on maple necks of the classic Fender variety, with satin finish, so I might be out of my depth here. But it plays well. Easy to move up and down the fretboard. A little bit of buzz when strumming hard but nothing too bad; once it gets a proper set-up/truss-rod adjustment, I'll have a better idea. Do appreciate the positioning of the neck, which protrudes outward more, making it very easy to get to those higher notes.

It's a swell little guit.

You mean like this?

Yes, and no.

Yes, when posting originally I thought they were like what is pictured here. But no, because they are different. Instead of six staples per pickup, there are only two long staples per pickup. Maybe Eko-esque.

Skibbe flinkenger pre amp

An H||H 1x15 cab, £42 including postage! I’ve wanted a 15 for guitar for years. £42 including postage!! 4ohms too so I’ll get the full 50w out my little Vox MV50 guy. £42 including postage!!!

Gold control plate, knobs, bridge, and string ferrules for a tele. GFS pickups with the switchable plug, which I find intriguing. They're a low output set, but I can purchase different pickups for peanuts and swap 'em. Could be cool.

bidding on a bunch of old Knight, Heathkit, Grommes, Precision Audio tube stereo preamps with hopes to convert them into weird mic preamps. hopefully I can score a couple for not too much scratch.

FYI: Those Lollar P90s have been put in the aforementioned Ephiphone SG, and they make it sing! One of the more sensible upgrades/mods I've had done.

I won't get my mitts on this for around a year or so, but this one is waiting next time I visit my partner's family in Canada. I've a feeling it would suit the PRF vibe:
