Re: G'day from Ballarat, Australia!

Hey, thanks for the welcome smile

It's my first ever PRS so it's an Single Cut SE that I've upgraded. Has new Grover Locking machine heads, graphtech nut, and Brierely Humbuckers http://www.brierleyguitarpickups.com.au/ - I'm just getting used to HBs as I usually play strats (I have 3) and so far I'm loving it!

Re: G'day from Ballarat, Australia!

Hey Pete! There's some of our countrymen who are far more prolific posters than I, however...

I'm actually coming down to Ballarat for the Red Hot Summer show on Saturday week. Just worked out better for me than any of the closer (but bloody long drive) ones.
Should be a night of mighty fine guitar between Ian Moss, Dave Leslie in Baby Animals and Charlie Owen for Jimmy Barnes.

Re: G'day from Ballarat, Australia!

Yeah, some classic players there. I'll be gigging so no chance to get there unfortunately. Nice to see Charlie Owen getting a guernsey - great player!
