    Interesting video 👍
    I'm sorry for your loss, we've just lost a family friend and an uncle, lots of folk seem to be going "home" of late. We soldier on though, being grateful for small mercies ✌️🙏💜👍😊
    Stunning guitar, I agree re the pick up sound, you describe it well, even with dicky wooden hearing and via a portable device, I hear what you mean 👍🤔👍
    I don't play much these days, I've got strats now, I couldn't justify a PRS (cost) nor a Gordon Smith (which I quite liked back in the day). I've a twin HB strat, twin pivot point system one trem, that I upgraded the pick ups on, my previous single coil Strat I put quarter pounders in, my newer Strat (15 years old now😀) will probably have a Dave Murrey set up at some point and a two point trem. My other custom built Strat has Fender Lace Sensors, a shaved Fender neck etc., but she's a heavy old bus these days, so I may look for a different body, but it's a very early Simon Law (to my spec), so I'm loathed to fiddle with too much, although SL used some of my parts. Always fraught taking a guitar apart and I'm a bit out of practice 😲😀
    Good times though as it's nice to customise guitars.
    I see that there's a Yardbirds documentary later today (Saturday) on Sky Arts (Council TV) and also a Rory Gallagher one too. Might be worth a look🤞🤞💜😊👍

      I guess a lot of that would boil down to whether you want all the bells and whistles? Hardware, pickups, the different woods, pickups, locking machines, hard case the list goes on. If you’re unsure and have the budget for either I’d play a load and see if you fall in love with one whatever it is.

    Hold on! Did I mis-hear SS or did the words "...for my fiftieth birthday, way back in 2012" escape his mouth? I was multi-tasking and thought he said fifteen. A quick head calculation brought me to the conclusion that SS was born in 1997 making him about 27 years old. Pretty young methinks but not impossible. Then I went back and listened again... two times and I'm pretty sure SS said "fifty" and "two thousand and twelve". That would mean that SS is 62.
