I had a gothic Les Paul when I bought this. I just wanted a different sounding guitar and this attracted me cos of the colour. Reminded me of a Subaru rally car sad isn't it.
Anyway yeah no probs Jez. You've probably seen it on STW too. Money is going to a good cause (I think anyway). A nice old new 856 frame off here. To be built up in a random new/retro frankenstein beast.
I don't break strings that often Jez, but they don't last all that long before they start sounding a bit cr@ppy... & what's the chances of it coming with your preferred gauge of string anyway?!
