Hi everyone,

Ever since I moved to the U.K. I haven't been around very much here but now I'm done with my first year I have too much time on my hand and thought I might as well share my newest acquisition. I joined the Folk Ensembe we have at the Conservatoire at a very good time as this is their 20th anniversary and we recorded an album and are touring to support it:

One of the other 5(!) guitar players warned me that my Jazzmaster might be a bit too expensive to go this tour as it might get knocked around a bit on the bus and stage as there are 50+ members so I got this G&L Tribute Will Ray a few months ago and I absolutely adore it.















Yeah, sorry, I took the B-Bender off as it stuck out too much and would have damaged my bag. If you want to have a taste of how awesome this band is, here's a video of them before I joined them a few years ago:

No love for G&Ls?

[Larry Mal]

Pretty cool. So those saddles lock together on that model?

[PaulDesmondTutu]

Yeah, they should but unfortunately that screw broke and doesn't want to come out...

[Larry Mal]

You can get a replacement screw from G&L for not a ton of money, just a heads up.

Can you push the screw forward? Maybe just drive it all the way through?

[PaulDesmondTutu]

Thanks for the tip! It broke in half, a guitar tech tried to get it out but it still wiggles around but does not move outside, it's really weird.

[Larry Mal]

Well, shit...

Ooh! They do sell a set of 3 Z-coils for $99, that is tempting even though even though I have nothing to put it in. I freaking love these pickups.

[Larry Mal]

Yeah, their costs are somewhat reasonable from their store. If you could get that screw out, a replacement would be pretty much nothing.

The pickups covers though are ridiculous, something like $40 for a set of three covers for my Legacy. I took a chance with Fender Strat sized covers and they worked, though, I had heard they would not.

And the pickguards is also pretty steep, I had to have one custom made for my Legacy, again, $40. It is what it is.

I've always loved that Legacy and plan to put on an Ilitch noise reducing backplate, the Legacy is quite the keeper and once I can afford that it'll me made to be a little better.

I have no experience with the Z-coils, though. I'd love a Comanche.
