It coils up pretty small, but just grabbed shortest lead I have. Will check out that wireless dongle for next trip though. Always thought they were more expensive.Small and portable amp, check.

The Fly 3 is a great amp had one for a while , it's worth getting the £25 extension stereo cabinet it turns it into a 6 wattI liked it so much I bought a Blackstar Anniversary 10w Artisan valve amp
After my Esquire build and buying a Les Paul Junior earlier this year I decided I wanted to complete the trilogy with a single pick up offset guitar...except they don't make one. Instead I've bought a MIM Jaguar Player which I will put a custom made pickguard and a new wiring loom to make it into a single humbucker Jaguar with a blocked trem (yes I know, it's not really what a Jag is about).
I've already swapped the knobs for some spare Tele ones I have. Just researching pickguard options, or I may buy a blank one and use mine as a template to make my own. I have the pickup and pots, etc already in my spares box, so just need to add a black pickup surround to my parts order. It doesn't feel as smooth as my Esquire or Junior, but I'm sure I'll be able to polish up the frets/fret ends and generally tweak the set up to my liking. I couldn't justify buying an American Pro model (at £1499) and doing mods to it, plus they are still poly finished as well, so it's a lot to pay for a rosewood fingerboard over a Pau Ferro one (though it's not as light as some I've seen, so will see what it's like after a drop of fingerboard oil):
This is a doctored picture of what I'm planing on doing: Quite a change from a regular Jag and much cleaner looking IMHO as I don't really like all the chrome switch plates and extra knobs.

Not my guitar, it belongs someone better known. Someone else quite well known thought it was worth taking a pic of too...??
I'm sure I've seen this picture before, is it a display in like LA or NY or the likes? Can imagine it'd be quite cool having a nosey round and bumping in to Scott Ian

I was there last year and they had a big music related exhibition, although I don't remember that one

Built up my cheap harley benton DIY SG. Surprisingly good, the pickups genuinely took me by surprise with how good they are for a sub £100 kit. The supplied strings are crap which is no surprise but for the money it's great. Going to do a couple cheap modifications, namely tuners as the standard ones are terrible, notchy things that lose tune every 2 minutes but colour me impressed. Couple of the pre drilled holes weren't quite lined up but manageable.
I haven't painted it, just left the factory coating whilst I built it up and made sure it all went together and tbh, I'm quite tempted to keep it as is.
