Thanks guys, been a long day, push back tug at London caught fire while pushing Jumbo back, held up while fire service attended, got to Red Roof, wifi f :censored: , Ian no longer works there,had to go to Denny's to get wifi, have a sat nav that takes me everywhere except where I want to go.No one playing steel on a Wednesday night, be as well back in Glesca.Going to set out at crack of dawn to get over to MSA, thank god I printed out google maps before I left.Think I must have the sat nav Ken Byng had at Dallas show in March, or its brother.Good thing is weather fab 38 degrees.See you lot soon. :o :o :guitar:

Malcolm, I managed ok last year without a sat nav,follow these instructions......as You exit the Red Roof, turn left and walk about fifty yards, the door to Denny's should be within touching distance. :lol:
What a great pity Ian is no longer at the Red Roof,He was a great guy.
Safe journey home with Your lovely guitar.

Just got back to hotel,guitar is fantastic, spent a bit of time with Kyle and Mitchell,it was only then I realised just how much work had gone into it, Kyle explained all the paint work, three coats primer, four coats top coat and ELEVEN coats of clear, each one sanded down before next coat.Kyle is a perfectionist, as is Sonny his brother.The mechanics are a dream and beautifully set up by Mitchell, who as well as being a top notch player is a first class mechanic.
