Well if the pedal board ain't done, I predict he is a no show!

Penultimate leg of the trip was celebrating a family friends 80th birthday last weekend.

A family get together with Mrs AR’s adoptive English family. Had too much to eat and drink and a lots of fun.

And the last leg of the journey, a visit to @KentuckyBoiledChiccan and his family in Gloucester.

What a chef, he fed us the best tasting food I’ve had all year.



And I got to almost get tacos on his Custom 24



We got to visit World Guitars, in nearby Stonehouse. Situated in what appears to be an old Police Station.





The private stock guitars on display are breath taking, with some very special works of art.



We were very kindly given a private viewing of some special Private Stock guitars by @FlameTop thanks so much to him.







Check out the stupid grin.







The back plates on this one were pretty special



Someone was eyeing it up



One piece quilt with DGT switching.



Another pretty special DGT.





Check out the inlays.



One for @dogrocketp.



And a Golden Eagle.

Aw yeah! Tacos are way better on a Santana!

WOW, what a killer selection of guitars you two were allowed to oogle over! Sounds/looks like a fantastic way to close the trip!! Thanks for all the eye candy ;~)) As for the tacos on the guitar, not such a problem, but look out for that 59% lizard blood, that shnit will eat through a black hole!!!

Drool worthy!

 

[DISTORT6]

AWESOME trip!

I think it’s safe to say that I will probably not be welcome to witness so many PS guitars in one place again and certainly not in the UK.

These are special guitars, as I said works of art. Tops that will become harder to source each year.

Some of the PS models on display caught my eye, the one piece Tigers Eye, quilt top 513 that would probably make @Maertl513 knees quiver. And the one piece top and backed HB.

The shop looks a bit like a place of worship, certainly worthy of a follower of PRSh.

I left the shop almost speechless and @KentuckyBoiledChiccan and I were buzzing as we drove back to his for a veritable home cooked Chinese banquet.

Thanks Pav for your kindness. I don’t know what we’re gonna do to top this, other than a factory tour in Maryland.

Well if the pedal board ain't done, I predict he is a no show!

The pedal board is so close, it’s a “baw hair” away.

However, this very kind man built these for me as an incredibly generous gift.

You can imagine I can’t wait to get them on the pedal board -



The Anomaly is a “Crowther Hot Cake” clone.



The Ares will be an “always on” pedal for me, just to add another tonal layer.



The Convex will be another “always on” compressor. Not a pedal I have routinely used in the past, but again I like the tonal layer that it adds to my sound.

Pav, I don’t know what I have done to deserve such kindness and great friendship, but thank you so much for all you’ve done, especially this week.

This forum rocks.

Totally. The gray DGT and that fat back Santana was my favourite. I have one more picture to share, though.

Explain yourself

At least I wasn’t wearing this t-shirt this time



I won’t disclose the writing on your baseball cap though

What you done is being amazing friend. Simple

This is our safe place, it could say John Deere.

Oh and thank you for the whiskey and goodbye gift. You are the G.O.A.T

Too cool! Sounds like that lizard blood may be worth a jigger or two!! Looking forward to seeing those pedals find their home on your board ;~))

I'll not leak your secret, but you are a heck of a photographer! Looks a stunning trip!
