I'm about 3/4 (excluding paint) of the way through the Deag 32" Millennium Falcon build and I fancied something a little more compact:

The detail is incredible and this model gets good reviews. Delivery from Japan within 10 days.

Just bought myself this. 2016 Fender Custom Shop NAAM Custom Built Limited Edition 1964 Fender Stratocaster in Sea Foam Green. It plays like a dream. Sorry for the crappy photo.

Crikey, did you buy direct from Fender?

How does it work, are all the parts from '64 and they've put it together?

No I bought it from Regent Sounds on Denmark Street in London. I went looking a 2017 Gibson SG Standard and walked away with the Strat

I'm not sure how it works, I've found one video from NAAM last year, and there are loads of dealer business cards attached to the strings of the custom built ones. I think they might all get raffled so that no one dealer has the monopoly on certain models.

Stumbled across a good deal locally for the A6000 bundle so upgraded the NEX-6
Also upgraded the 1005 to a 6100

Are external SSD's faster or more reliable than memory sticks or is it just about capacity?

The kit with the standard lens was £429 but I got this one for £599
The Nex 6 has been a good camera so I didn't hesitate upgrading. I only went in to look at the a6300 but I can't justify it's price tag for the extras it offers. Is it good enough to invest in good glass? I miss my 5D and L lens some days but Im not going go back to carrying so much gear and weight about.

Currently a Marshall 1987x however I tried a lovely Fender Deluxe Reverb in the shop. I might have to get me one of those.

I have the same kit,also have the sigma 30mm 2.8 which is a cracking lens for the money,also got the sony 28mm which is also great,im saving up for the 70-200 2.8 G lens which hopefully change the game

On the subject of Sony cameras. Finally decided to upgrade from an old Canon DSLR but didn't want to lug that size around.

This is going to sound totally counter intuitive but give Roland Blues Cube Artist a try. I hear nothing but good things from people who has amps like Carr Rambler, Lazy J20, amps 3 x the price tag.

Perfect amp if you want to play any Dire Straits, particularly Sultans of swing.

It's a great camera, I use the PZ 18-105 F4 G lens on mine more than any other lens.

This should be useful for you:

Capacity & performance. Have loads of VMs that I need to cart about.
