Location: Brisbane Australia | Well it's finally happened.
I arrived home this morning from my trip to the US with the Slothead I purchased from Cholloway.
It's an outstanding guitar.
Thanks Colin for your patience and understanding and Paul for taking delivery, enabling me to collect it in LA on Thursday.
It was quite a clandestine operation, meeting a PI in a restaurant parking lot under the cover of darkness and taking delivery of an "instrument case"!!
I'll post some pics soon.
Thanks guys
Jim (AJ) |

Location: Brisbane Australia | Thanks Richard,
You and Oz are most welcome anytime, as for that other bearded individual who is not in favour of "Broccolli" on the peghead, he might have to wait and take his chances.
Great to be home.
I love the US but after the terrible LA haze of the last few days and arriving home to a crystal clear Brisbane sky this morning, boy oh boy!!!
I'm joking Muz, any time Mate.
I've now had the priviledge to meet a number of OFC members in the US.
I can only say it has been an absolute pleasure.
Thankyou everyone for making Deb and Myself feel so welcome on our holiday in the US.
It was such a great experience.
Cheers Jim and Deb |

Ah-well, enjoy it AJ. |

As for selling off National Treasures... nobody can say they didn't have a chance at it. :)
I'm glad it went to a member here and I'm quite sure it will be appreciated for what it is.
BTW. Even though Jim gained custody, I still retained visitation rights!!!
Enjoy it Jim! |

Gesus, I'm looking ahead at my wifes work schedule trying to figure out what days I could sneak something into the house undetected and making sure the super-secret-secondary paypal account that she knows nothing about is locked away and all emails routed to my work only !!!

And you only bought that thing to piss me off. I hope it sounds better than it looks.  |
