Sikka spruce top, inlaid walnut epaulets and ebony neck. This has instantly become number #1 guitar! Lovely, really lovely.

Probably, the camera I'm using is an old handbag job. Would really like a 10 mega pixel DSLR.

Location: Brighty in Blighty		When I said I like this guitar, I meant to say I f******* love this guitar. Looks to be pretty much a perfect design to my eyes and is a JOY to play.

Now here's the mind blowing part...

It's a FRG. Why? I have NO idea!!! It looks and plays perfectly. In fact it's 5 years old right? Looks like its NEVER been played. I've had it in the wood shed for 5 hours today and I reckon that's the most it EVER been played.

Interestingly enough I think there are some HEAVY DUTY BAD ARSE GAUGE strings on it. Gonna be interesting to stick my favoured 11s on it but at the moment there is no point. Normally I HAVE to change the rusty strings (and clean and treat when I buy from Ebay) but not this beauty, it's in unplayed condition.

Right, off to give it a beating...
