I've owned a strat style guitar of one kind or another since I was 18... for a long time it was my perfect guitar. However, since I got bitten by the tele bug, as well as developing Les Paul fever, my old Vintage V6 strat has been left hanging on the wall neglected. For the single coil stuff, I just always pick up the tele these days, as it just seems to have more "guts" to the sound. Nothing for it but to put the V6 strat-a-like up on eBay. It sold this morning & I immediately hit the Thomann website and treat myself to one of these...

It looks pretty & seems to get positive reviews, and for seventy five quid, it seems a bargain. If it's anywhere near as good as the Harley Benton Les Paul, it'll be outstanding! I'll do a review as soon as it turns up :)

Very nice indeed J.R., hope you enjoy.
But now here's a thing, I've been strumming an a/c geet (badly) for 40+ years, but it's only in the last month that I've discovered this! (below).
I can now walk about the house, strumming away, without the boominess affecting anyone.
There must be others who've found these previously??

Steve, I've seen a lot of guys use the sound hole covers to reduce the body feedback of an acoustic electric when playing live but they usually have some sort of adjustment so you can vary the opening. This looks flexible and easy to install and if it keeps the family happy, you have a winner!
