    Must have been teh Fifties neck, the sixties are a lot slimmer. They are all much bigger than strats though, I always feel weird holding a strat cos they are so fine. I don't have huge hands, but I am a strapping lad adn the weight doesn't bother me.
    I'm not even 100 pounds and like 5'4 so it's pretty big to me, I'm kinda drawfted by a Mustang!

    Yes, well I can see how that is a problem. Jeremy is a good song to enjoy the roar of a LP on the neck pup though, so it can't have been all bad !!
    Without harping on it, they now have the Les Paul Lite, and the Goddess which is specifically designed for females, of course, but has enough spunk to be used by a guy. SG's are worth a look as well, some of the necks can be chunky there, some are slimmer, haven't played too many though.
    It's funny with Strats, I always feel short-changed in the neck dept, but it would be a dull old world if we were all the same.

    Yeah, I got an Epi- SG special and it'd sound amazing but it's CONSTANTLY out of tune(any ideas on how to remedy that??) I like the Epi Black Beuty too, it's nice on the hands too

    I like LPs, but they never sit right on me, where Strats feel right at home.
    Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

    The Martin 000-18 that's in my local guitar store and that nobody is buying (last time I checked anyway). It's only €1350 (STEAL!!!!!), but still way out of my reach. :(

    I don't have a holy grail, but I have a rig that is bordering on ridiculous :)

    Guitars

    Ian Anderson Standard - prototype
    Motorave BelAire (June)
    Goodall Rosewood Standard

    Amp

    ÷13 RSA23
    Swanson cab loaded with Scholz 12's

    Effects

    Stephenson Stage Hog
    D*A*M Meathead Deluxe
    Boss Rotary Station
    MG That's Echo Folks

    Shaking my head in disbelief.



    I want that Cab!!!!.... where did you buy it from?

    I saw you sold the HJ but you got an RSA nice!! I always sucked at Math.

    The IA standard is gorgeous too.

    How do you like (and use) the Stage Hog?

    I'd also like to know about the rotary station and the Meathead deluxe. I want a rotary effect, but I've been on the EH wiggler for a while now I think I might stick with it.

    Yes indeed koa top, can you believe this was in reach, and then I saw this Gtretsch for 1/2 retail on e-bay, grabbed it, then teh wifelet tells me the other thing. She didn't like the timber top, thought the pretty purple was much better, (it is nice).
    Never mind, it is TOP of the list for my next guitar.

    OMG man...I had the most awesome, detailed response typed up, and my damned computer crashed :(

    Now I'm discouraged, so you'll get the short and sweet :D

    The Swanson cab came direct from Jeff: http://www.swansoncabinets.com/

    I scored a really good deal on the RSA23...which made it a little easier to sell the HJ. I am sure I will miss the HJ, but the RSA is no slouch :)

    The IA is in a class with instruments that cost double what Ian is charging IMO. I've owned and played many a solid body over the years. IMO, short of a Stevens or a Gustavsson, the IA takes the cake for solid body guitars.

    The Hog isn't here yet. Now that I am rolling with the RSA, I am not sure how I will use the Hog. I might relegate it to studio work, or use it as an amp for small gigs...not sure yet.

    The Rotary Station is the finest unit I've used of its type. It's the closest you'll get to a real leslie or motion sound...both of which I have used. The overdrive feature is useless, and turns a lot of people off. I don't use it at all. For doppler effects, no box is more flexible than the Boss. It runs circles around the H&K Rotosphere, though the Roto's overdriven leslie sounds are sexier.

    The Meathead Deluxe is just sick. It's like, the best Big Muff I've ever heard, but with three times the tonal flexibility. The higher-grade components make it one of the quietest fuzz boxes I've ever used too. I almost don't miss my Big Cheese now :D. The added tone filter makes the Deluxe a no-brainer for me...deceptively versatile, and bursting with great fuzz tones.

    Really surprised that no one is asking much about the MG delay...but kinda happy too. It's one of my secret weapons...no delay I have ever owned or used seems to do quite what this one does. It's just flippin cool! :). Marcelo designed it to capture the sounds of Dave Gilmour's early Floyd dealy freakouts.

    No, cos I spent the money on teh Gretsch, then cos I had amp dramas, I bought a new Mesa Lonestar, so now I have to WAIT, can you believe it WAIT I SAY, before I can get teh Taylor.
    YOu are right, you can't have too many !!!!!

    if this happened to me, i'd sell a kidney. my doctor tells me i have two that are completely identical... but each guitar is unique in its own way.

    think about it.

    I could always sell my wife, but she's a beauty. I have a spare horse that may sell soon, though, and BELIEVE ME, if he does, then I know where the money is going. Otherwise, it's grovel and beg and no more lectures to her about sensible financial management. I think I might chuck the Gretsch on e-bay to see what I can get for it.
