Way to go Tommy. Some people seems to believe that good guitars only were made in the 60's. About time someone showed them that some companies still make high quality instruments.

Nice one Tommy!
I got a similar one to tell.

An old mate called me around to look at his new Taylor Acoustic guitar, he says "Whilst yer around Spud, bring yer new Geetar?" (My AL)

So I go around and make all the right noises about his new baby (not for me though!)

He gets out his Nashville Tele (the 3 pick up jobbie) and to cut a long story short the AL came out on top. Then I showed him the Piezo!!! He was totally gobsmacked.
