Thank you very much! However, I was born in America and now live in London

I know exactly what you mean, I'd never settle for less than what I know it'd be worth. But it's hard, these places are always trying to make as much coin as possible. Thing is, at this particular place, it doesn't matter what you know. These guys value their stock using E-Bay and Google, so if someone has a unbranded guitar with no identifying marks whatsoever, they won't find it on the bay and they pretty much get to pick any price they want. Which will suck. Even then, they still manage to sell a Shure SM58 for £15. I guess they are just clueless when it comes to music gear I will post some pictures of the Custom for sure. It doesn't seem like I can attach images to posts, so I'll have to upload some images onto photobucket. Cheers

Hey y'all, As per most forums, I assume an initial introduction is requisite before further posting? So here's mine My name's Joe and I hail from America, although have been residing in the UK for 8 years 11 months 24 days. I count every day. Currently I'm in London. Happy days I've been playing giddyfiddle for almost ten years, and currently own about 12 or 13 guitars, just about every single one of which has been extensively modded by myself. I play a variety of styles, but I'm really getting into my jazz and fusion. Currently, my favourite guitar is my lovely 'Custom'. I found her at a pawn shop for a real steal. Handmade neck-through guitar from the late 80's, completely kitted out with Schaller (pups, machine heads, bridge, straplocks, knobs, everything!) and weighing in at just under 10 pounds, and I picked her up for £100! Whoever sold it couldn't have gotten more than £40 for it. Sometimes, when playing an especially wailing solo, I'll still weep for the poor shmuck. You'll see and hear more about this guitar soon because it's her that's brought me to this forum. Anyways, that's me. I look forward to some truly GAS-worthy and chin-stroking discussions Thanks a lot

Hey y'all, I'm new here - I am unsure of any customary introductions that may be required, so if one is necessary I would happy to accommodate - back to topic, I am having quite a bit of trouble with a particular 'project'. My usual forum for this kind of thing has completely failed me, leaving me to venture out unto other forums with my various woes. One of the guitars for a band I tech for has conked out. I've opened it up and checked every single connection with the multimeter. Every connection is just fine, except for one - when I put the tip on the hot of the input jack and the lug on the pickup selector for the bridge pup, it comes out at 0.00k ohms as opposed to giving the output for the pup like it does for the middle and neck pup. I don't know why it does this or how to sort it out. All I know is that the guitar is completely dead, so any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!
