This thread makes me want to start playing the guitar again
What is everyone's opinion on guitars made by Ibanez? They seem pretty popular amongst the bands that I listen to.
Decent. TBH, most modern made guitars are good as they are all done by CNC machines unlike the old days where it is done by hand.

Tk7 is that a Harley Benton kit? And did you do the finish yourself looks great.

Yeah it is Jimbo, thanks! The finish was actually really simple too. I had a similar effect on the tele kit I did by accident, so I tried it on this one with a darker stain and i'm pleased how it turned out.
The bodies come with this horrible wood sealer on, so I just roughly sanded it off (combination of hand sanding and random orbital), then applied a couple of coats of black stain. The stain only really takes in the areas where the sanding sealer is completely removed, so it gives that effect. It's finished with something similar to tru-oil, about 8 coats, then lightly sanded for a slightly less gloss finish.
The kits are good fun, but they do really cut corners on the tuners and electronics. I've upgraded them on this with some still cheap locking tuners, and good quality pots/switch. I've put a lot of time into the frets and made a new nut and it really does feel and play nice.

New crash cymbal. I didn't even need it tbh, but it was such a bargain I couldn't pass it up!
2nd hand, but unplayed and as new 20" AAX Xplosion crash.

I'm thinking of selling my American-made Highway 1 Strat and was wondering what might be a sensible price. It was made in 2005 and so the older (and I believe better) variant. It is in what I'd call very good condition but not perfect, a few minor dinks but nothing major at all.
Rough pricing from a quick look online seems to be near the £400 mark. Any other wisdom?

Finally sourced two Vox pathfinders for some stereo guitar. If you haven't tried it please do...Its puts a massive smile on my face and you can get great tone and separation from your guitar. Dial in a different tone on each amp...Play with one dry and one wet, one clean one dirty...Its great.
Been using my 25 year old Boss Super Stereo Chorus and it sounds amazing.

I assume you mean me
It's a pedalboard novo 24 - pedals are powered by a voodoo labs 4x4 fixed in the back of it.
How do the pedals fit to the board ?
The pedal train comes with two huge roles of Velcro, so you stick one to the board and one to your pedal, with a bit of intelligent scissoring for the gaps. It works really well actually - you couldn't stomp them off the board.... Unless you were deliberately kicking them off!

Pedalboard looks pretty sweet - apologies for the ignorance, but did you make it yourself? Either way, link please
