bobmeyrick Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Not a typical Saturday - a leisurely drive up to the Peak District to collect the H-150 CM VSB I won on eBay! When I got home I set to work stripping and cleaning it - it hadn't been used for a while. GHS Guitar Gloss for the woodwork, lemon oil for the fingerboard and "Silvo" for the metal work. Restring with D'Addario XL 11-49s. Job done! It looks a lot better than it did in the eBay picture... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobmeyrick Posted May 22, 2011 Author Share Posted May 22, 2011 I thought Nottingham and Essex were next door neighbors! It depends on your definition of "next door" - the distance between them is about 150 miles. Nottingham is pretty much in the middle of England (not the other end, H!).
