    TBH I can't be bothered to sell guitars much as they are bit harder to pack/send than watches.

    It was Strat Saturday though!

    The "modified" stuff is all good.

    I like the matt finish on the back of the neck, the 9.5" radius and pau ferro are fine.

    The warmed up '60'S pickups sound really good too.

    A few pics:






    Difficult to get a good pic of the colour.




    Board is pau ferro which TBH doesn't look a lot different to my rosewood jobs.

    Cheers,
    Neil.

    Been looking for a travel guitar for ages and had it nailed down to three possibles, but the GS Mini just edged it.

    I also wanted the Rosewood and Sitka combo with tortoiseshell guard, which are now discontinued.

    Serendipity listed this two days ago on a trusted music shop site, so seemed rude not to buy myself a birthday treat

    I have the exact same one, and I love it.

    Didn’t realise they were discontinued - I thought this was the most popular variant?

    Another recent acquisition: a Schecter Demon-8. Bought secondhand off FB for a great price, it was looking very for itself with loads of scuffs and swirls - all polished out though. A bit of TLC and some fresh strings and now it looks and plays great. It’s quite a beast, active pickups, and as with most Schecters it needs no setup work.

    It's got too many strings.

    What do you use to polish out the scuffs ?

    From my web searches, you can get the rosewood layered in e-versions, but not on a straight guitar.

    The only variant with the sitka top I found available was the sapele layered, which I've played and loved the feel and sound of, but I just prefer the rosewood appearance and the tortoise pick guard. It will sound exactly the same so purely an aesthetic choice.

    The sapele looks like this:

    I have the same one. It's an awesome instrument. I found one on eBay and I think genuinely it has made me play my guitar more and more.

    It's small so you leave it out and then just grab it and play it.

    Looks the business, sounds the business and is clearly very well made.

    For clarity, I am talking about a GS mini here!
