This one is an '09 and it's a beast. Thick and with shoulders to go with it.

Good to know!

?

Sorry, British colloquialism. What's the deal with that one? Year/run/etc?

Interestingly an Irish language phrase originally, spelled craic.

Yeah, my grandmother (Scots Gaelic) also used to use it and spell it that way. Probably where I picked it up from originally.

There's weirdly a lot of crossover between Gaelic and the Irish language. I assume it's a proximity thing.

Yes, they both reside on the same branch of the old Celtic languages tree. Gaelic, Irish and Manx are part of the Goidelic branch and then you have Breton, Cornish & Welsh on the Brythonic branch. Brythonic is slightly older I believe - which would explain why it's more dead than the others

I grew up in Nantes, which is in a very debated zone between Brittany and the more "standard French" cultural zone, I still remember my very Parisian/central French parents getting dark looks when they asked why one could take a "dead language" course in Breton in the school I was

Breton is still alive and kicking in Brittany, but totally defunct now in Briton/Britain. Breton vastly outnumbers Irish regards native speakers, and Welsh. Manx and Cornish are the deadest of the dead.

I've often been tempted to learn some Breton. My original family surname is actually Brett on my father's side, and my Grandmother on my mother's side is originally from Brittany. Safe to say that's likely where my roots are!

Burny RSG-90 in to the Origin 5 and the 2011 JMJM in the 67 Vibro Champ. I just love cranking that VC

Is that one of the new VC Reverbs or an old SF one? If it's a reissue, I'd be interested to hear your opinions on it

It’s a 1967.

The little Rat on the floor makes that photo. What more could you want?!

How's the neck on these? Nice and fat?

I had an '03 like that and it was the same...big neck with shoulders.

My '56's neck is actually more of a C, and not as full...all the old ones varied so much.

That old '03 R4BB I had was a fantastic guitar, one of the best I've ever owned.

I had it upgraded to the max, Pigtail parts throughout, RS Grey Tigers Kit, RS Wafflebacks and a Zhangbucker Cherrick P90...it was a destroyer of a guitar, and not too bad weight-wise at 10lbs on the nose.

Here's an old photo...

[JSett]

Yeah, that's a stunner for sure.

arrghh. So much temptation for someone who'd just committed to trying to live with just 3 guitars. Loads of good guitars are popping up for sale at the moment too.

I don't get on with Gibsons normally but the staple P90 Black Beauties kill me, what made you get rid of it?

[JSett]

what made you get rid of it?

I'm gonna guess it's this...

Yeah, he really has an original. Insane.

What speaker are you running in that? I have a 69' Champ with a Jupiter 8sc in it and it's amazing!
