Greetings from Sturgis, friends...weird goings on in this little town

Wow, that is a nice 360/361. According to the maps app, it would take me about seventeen hours to get there. I’d love to buy it, but how to get it home? I’d have to rent a truck...still a very cool find. Someone here needs to snag it..
Very cool find!
As is this...

I just found a cure for my G.A.S. I went to a jam night now I am fighting the urge to sell all my basses. It should pass by morning.

I can honestly say...…. I'm terrible at "jamming"
 
How cool that it's a real place!
Yes, it's a village called Portmeirion, it isn't a village in the real sense as it was all built by one guy called Clough Williams-Ellis, an architect who wanted to build an Italian style village in north Wales, you couldn't but a place and live there, it's now a tourist attraction where you can stay. Normally tourist attracions are avoided like the plague bit Portmeirion is such a cool place to go we visit it every year Portmeirion - Wikipedia
 
Thanks. Looks normal from the front of course. I had a cursory look on the Cole Clark website and didn’t see anything about it but pictures.
The fretboard covers it from the front so it is almost completely hidden. The fretboard sandwich effect will add a lot of mechanical strength to the joint too, it's a clever bit of design I'm impressed
 
I wonder how the JC pickup and impedance selection would work in a solid body? @Christine @JIO
say in an EB0 or LP Jr style thing with a single pup?

On the Cole Clark (whiling away the wait at the GP, throat infection - not impressed) it seems it is a V joint. I think Christine may have said that at one point.
I really wouldn't know, wood questions I can answer but electrickery is an alien subject to me, I just don't have the experience
 
I might be wrong but I think I recall seeing the bottom of the bridge routed out around the anchor points to allow the raised Eppi ferrules to not interfere with the bridge sitting flush on the body.
That would make sense, from my cynical side that would also allow the inserts on a Gibson to get pulled out further if "overtightened"
 
Unfortunately, everything Christine says gets lost in all the innuendo with which she taunts us.
Innuendo? Rubbish, that's your perverted minds reading all sorts into my innocent posts :jawdrop: I wake up every morning in fear of finding a custom bit of text under my name with "Ahem!" in bold. Hells bells, I even think about what I write now to make sure there is nothing there that can be ahem'd but still you find them, victimised I am! :roflmao:
