Bass on the top as well which suits me fine. The guitar bit has a trem which locks should I wish - ideal if a string breaks to ensure the rest stay in
tune. Just like a hard tail.
The only thing I think I would add would be a bendwell like the Status Kingbass. Still, can't have it all :-)

Nice guitar! I play a Strat but I have a Steinberger also, among others, and it is handy for gigs abroad, having no headstock means it will fit in the
overhead lockers. I've just come back from gigging in Iceland! Good thing about these guitars is that you can change a string in seconds. I once
broke a string at the beginning of a song and had a new one on and tuned to pitch in trime for the solo!
Cheers

Rock on!
I know 4 chords now, that's one more than Quo. . edit:- I strum an accoustic guitar and am presently trying to memorise the chords to No Woman
No Cry, trouble is I've got a plaster on my right thumb and a cut behind my left index nail. You sometimes have to suffer for your art.

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

Now it may be true that many Quo songs are made up of a simple 3 chord change...but that doesnt stop them being great 
Tonight I started to learn Metallica - Master of Puppets...now thats fast..! Got blisters on me fingers now
(no i cant actually play very well...i just try to every now and again to annoy my housemates!)

One of the members of Quo was in the papers 'cos he was suffering from RSi and had to cancel a show - he said himself that he'd have learn
another cord so that he'd move his wrist a bit more!

The mental gymnastics a landlord will employ to justify immoral actions is clinically fascinating. Just because something is legal doesn't make
it moral.

Here's my 7string JP Musicman. Cost about the same as my MK deluxe kit Mind you, it is the best guitar I've ever played. It has a
pearlescent paint job so it looks green from some angles and purple from others.

Imposters the whole lot of you:
Work in progress. I prefer to call it inspired by Brian May's one than a replica - put the two of them together and they look quite different
in fact, and mine's got humbuckers.

Ahh but is it cunningly fashioned from an old fireplace? i guess you used the offcuts for the chair? and do you pluck it with an old threpanny bit ?
Party on dude.
Oh and Benzine, is that a chord from the key of P ?

That's another project actually. Back when I was doing architecture in college we were looking at a furniture brochure and we came across one of
these advertised for 700 Euros:
Needless to say I wasn't impressed, which is more than I could say for my collegues. I basically ended up making it to prove a point.

I made this a couple of years ago. It is mostly a copy of a PRS, though modified a bit.

I'll be happy if mine looks half as good as that.
