Some Blokes Have All The Luck... Another Raffle Prize Guitar!

[@derekclacton]

Nice one! Fair play to Fender - Squier given scope to produce designs the parent company wouldn’t take the financial risk on 🙂 Lucky chap, Neil - thanks to him for sharing his good fortune via your good self, John - for us to enjoy! 👍

That tele sounds good! Long may Neil's luck continue, and many thanks for sharing the delightful instrument with us!

Nice Thinline Tele Neil, congrats! Black blocks and black fretboard binding looks sweet to me with white body and black guard. Awesome slide work John!

[@calbrockocat8728]

Love that HH Thinline! I really have to stop liking guitars so much. Can Neil get me a ticket, too?

[@nellayema2455]

It a sweet guitar! I like block inlays. On a Gibson, I like them, as well as the mini-trapezoid and mini-block inlays on some models over the years.

[@SidBonkers51]

Ive always had a thing for slimline teles but never bought one, yet... And that Squier sounds pretty good to my old ears.

[@ThatGuyThanus]

That’s a bit of alright..!

The uk based prize draw sites are required to offer a free postal entry route. Often buried in the rules smallprint, though some do openly give it equal priminence to paid tickets. With the price of stamps these days its far from "free" (one one of the sites insists on first class stamps too), but it can cushion the blow of an occasional flutter.

I like a thinline, Teles can be heavy. Nice bit of slide there briefly John, very expressive

I had a squire pro tone thin line Tele years ago red flame with gold hardwear. Cracking guitar to this day it haunts me that I sold it. Maybe one of these would be a good replacement 👍

[@gordocanuck666]

glad to see the "Dougal Finger" performing as it should. Back to full health or close to it? Seems so Be well

[@johnmac8084]

I think John's still substituting his second finger and pinky for the ring (Dougal) finger most of the time, apart from a couple of bar chords where the angle of the last joint happens to be right. Mind you he does it so well it's easy to miss 😀

@@johnmac8084 Have to get the "truth" from the man himself I guess... hard to discern on a video

[@JRobsonGuitar]

I can use the finger to some degree now. It's OK in barre chords & for grabbing a note on the 1st string when bending on the 2nd. But out of 4 fingers on that hand I have about 3.25 of them working. I just substitute with 2nd & 4th fingers for the most part. My sweep picking days are in my rear view mirror but I'm just grateful to still be playing 👍

[@gordocanuck666]

@@JRobsonGuitar And we are glad you are able to soldier on John. Keep it all going in the right direction. Have to give Dougal (the culprit) a cameo appearance one Friday soon. Or maybe less disruptive, ----shoot a short video so the dog lovers in the crowd can get their fix??

[@neilcoglan9037]

Hi John, No setup work done on the guitar, it's as it came out of the box. You can lend the other one I won, but there's a rumour you don't like 7 strings😅😅

[@JRobsonGuitar]

Cheers Neil! 7 strings? I'd get lost 🤣🥰
