        Sold one of my motorbikes off this morning and now have some pennies to spend on a guitar or such, There have been a few types I have had a hankering for, Electro acoustic/parlor or Semi acoustic/hollow body. I have even thought about a Classic Vibe or MIM Tele and sell off the Goose to make way for that..
        There is a guitar expo on in the North east of England which is about a 3 hour drive from here, so I might just make my way there after work on Saturday and book in to a hotel and try a few of their local beers and then hit the expo about lunch time on the Sunday.

            Hi Billy, It’s really a good idea to look @ the (Fender) mexico guitars, mine is a 60’s classic & is just like I remember the guitars in the 60’s which is the reason I wanted one but couldn’t afford an antique!
            I read that they are exactly (more or less) the same as the US models but not as much care taken after assembly (QC) but after a good set-up they should be very close (the pick-ups being the exception) but a LOT of people like those as well?
            So worth checking out?.
            Good hunting,,(Don’t drink too much & get your judgment all clouded?)
            PS; Check out Thomann UK

                Hi guys, looks as though I may have to wait until another time as they are forecasting more heavy snows on the east coast of the U.K. this weekend..
                I was thinking of selling off one or two of my acoustics and now I have come home from work, I am not sure I want to sell any of them.
                I am not making a good go at this GAS thing am I…hahahahaha
