H Posted September 25, 2010 Share Posted September 25, 2010 The 150 I bought from Mark (mgoetting) has arrived in the UK. Hopefully it will clear Customs this weekend and I'll get it Tuesday/Wednesday. Will post some pics with English sun on that VSB for the very first time Woohoo!

Hopefully it will clear Customs this weekend and I'll get it Tuesday/Wednesday. ...English sun... Woohoo! Isn't that an oxymoron? I know you must be very excited, 'H'! I've always wanted a vintage Paul, and actually came close once. Now that I've got my VSB Holy Grail 150, my lust is quite satisfied. If yours is half the honey mine is, you'll be very, very happy with it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, glad you spotted the irony I live in the sunny South East though, so I should be able to get that pic done in July next year I'm really looking forward to this one. I know it looks good and I really want it to be a player too. I'm comfortable with a sixties neck so I have a good chance of it 'feeling right'. Every hour is going to drag until it's through the door... I'm going to have a look in your gallery now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 Still in Customs I bet they're playing 'Stairway' on it right now I've got a shiny new TonePros bridge and some cream Kluson tuners just sitting here waiting to slip on my new baby. I can't imagine what it must be like to place a custom order and wait months like this! I'm getting GAS for a brand new 530 with Phat Cats in OSB. Any idea how much that would cost in dollars as a custom order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eljay Posted October 2, 2010 Share Posted October 2, 2010 'bout $2500 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Posted October 2, 2010 Author Share Posted October 2, 2010 still in customs? Yep. It 'officially' entered Customs on Tuesday even though it landed in the UK days before. I'm told the UK has one of the fastest Customs clearances in the world. Ho hum... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 It's out of Customs!!!! At 3am today. Just think of the poor guys working at that time of day Hoping to see that curly maple top by Wednesday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

koula901 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 I can't wait till you get that guitar, H. You've suffered so long by waiting! I think this club should change it's name from the HOC, to Patient Waiters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 PICS>>>PICS.... You know that we love 'em. I know - I'd love to put some up, especially as I've changed out the Rotomatics for Klusons and popped a Nashville on in place of the tonesucker. However, I'm working off my iPhone tonight as I've got PC trouble. I'll try to do a photobucket link but might need to wait until I'm in work tomorrow to put pics up.
