S★m V★rm★@simoncampbell Resistance is, as they say, futile
@samvarma That did make me laugh. You are right.
@simoncampbell 😜 That is the most rock of all guitar shapes IMHO. Builder over here called Kauer does the most biblical I've ever seen
@samvarma It is indeed. Springer Guitars are making this for me. It’s not an exact copy as they do have tuning issues and the fearsome headstock dive. I am writing a blog article at the moment and will release it when I receive the instrument. Will look up Kauer! We need them built over here as the import duty is fierce from the USA. Suzy has a Mike Lull T4 - https://suzystarlite.com/equipment#t4-starlite - mine will match 🤩
@simoncampbell Fuck that is proper. Reminds me of my bass player's Sandberg 48. Wonder if the import duty has any bearing on the seeming sudden arrival in my consciousness of so many UK-based custom shops
@simoncampbell Fantastic!! Proper nerd out. Nice track—gave me Cult vibes (or at least, British goth-ish). I like that Americans call it a wang bar 🤣 Firebirds--loved em because Nikki Sixx! Cool info on the pickups. I've also dealt with Lindy Fralin—utterly stellar, man & pickups.
"Before the specification was agreed we discussed wood." Oo-er missus
I reckon you're right about what the different woods bring to the table. I like ebony too.
Looking forward to the next installment!
Maarten Pelgrim@simoncampbell please share updates for this project:)
@maartenpelgrim I am writing a blog article at the moment which will detail everything and will be released when I receive the guitar at the end of August. It will be kinda like this: https://vibes.starlite-campbell.com/p/my-journey-with-roger-bucknall-and-fylde-guitars
