Acoustic Ladyland played the same night I saw the Spinto Band, supported by Son Of Dave. All three of those bands I first saw on Jools Holland. Would have been cool.
Don't you know that's sinful boy?

mad pointless fact:

the drummer from Acoustic Ladyland hooked us up with our new drummer, so I owe him a beer or two! :)

Are they out of production, or maybe they've never been reissued at all? And no, i'd have to sell a kidney to afford a vintage, and most American Ebayer's refuse to ship overseas anyway. I have a vague memory of seeing some unkown band using a very new-looking one at a club a few months ago, but i was a bit drunk and it could just have been yellow lightning on vintage white...

Anyway, before i start to digress, my question is obviously if anyone knows where to get one. Ishibashi?
I guess my question is particularly but by no means completely directed at mynamesisjonas, since we appear to live in the same country.
When I bought my (3 tone sunburst) Jaguar I was told that they didn't have them in sunburst or white (to my great disappointment) so I had to chose some other color (don't remember which).

After a couple of days they phoned me and said that they didn't have the color that I ordered but suddenly they had sunburst and white  so I got the color I wanted from the beginning.

This was at Musikbörsen about a year ago. It might be worth checking out.
