I’ll send him a message to get fucked, generally.

Just add some chrome pickup rings to totally ruin it.

Albert Lee is one of my favourite ever guitarists - and it makes me happy that as a Brit he managed to become such a household name in the US regarding Country players

The snaps are so shit aren’t they? …and I don’t like the white truss rod cover either. see… picky!

I do like a Vintage S - I’m a picky bugger though and that one doesn’t do it for me for some reason

I think the spec of the Centaura Deluxe is wonderful - I’d love another one, one day …or a Cali Deluxe !

That orange Centaura has a couple of interesting features, the switching and the chamfers on the horns - what’s the story on that one? Cheers, Ben.

!! The Blue Cali is wonderful !! …and the Centaura Deluxe too and the rest of course!

I like the brown ones !

Currently has SD PATBs in there... This Centaura is probably is my main guitar …..if only there was a purple HS set neck DC with EMGs and and whammy bar out there somewhere

Fucking hell I want that!

WOWEE! This is great stuff! - I just read the the FB post as well

Did he also nick the pickups out of it as well and swap them for some other less desirable/valuable ones while he was at it?

This guy selling is a fucking cock.

SSL-1 I believe. Cheers, B

I do love Vintage Ss - I think my next one will need to be an HSS with the ABM trem - the SSS one a member was kind enough to sell me currently has a set of old Hot Rails installed (by me) - and actually if I could get the preamp working I’d be happy with it having the original SSL-1s back in there I feel like I’ve got pretty competent at international shipping out of necessity really, the stuff I love just isn’t available in the UK!

Noooooo! Timing is crazy - it’s lovely isn’t it! And a nice early one before the primo timber ran out

Hey thank you very much for the assistance! This might just work Best wishes and thanks again! Ben.

Hey boys, this is the thing; a tatty old Luke 1 which however appears fairly cheap and includes it’s case. I’ve not contacted the seller yet as I know from experience that being contacted by a foreigner - me (:p), can appear very scammy - without a plan! https://nashville.craigslist.org/msg/d/nashville-ernie-ball-music-man-luke/7811540954.html What do you reckon does it look reasonable or a nail? Cheers all, Ben.

Cheers boys - I recall that most of the classic HFC members who were in that locale have since migrated away. There is no way I’d make you a days round trip @Steve Haynie - thank you very much for your kind consideration though!!!

Hello all, Are there any HFCers who currently reside in Nashville? I’ve spotted a guitar I’m quite into but wanted to see if there might be a local contact I could cheekily bother to potentially assist with getting a deal done! Best wishes, Ben.

Ho! Ho! Ho! xxx

I had one just like that which I sold to a guy in Belgium a few years back. I’m currently back up to four Centauras from having six then down to two!

Did that Vector come from a UK based owner by any chance? It looks pretty similar to a guitar I was tracking down for a few years! Best wishes, Ben. edit - sadly it’s not the same one https://www.thefretboard.co.uk/discussion/173509/

Just saw the news of the M7 earthquake. Very best wishes to you guys, your families and friends. Love from, Ben. xxx
