Cheers, Tod. I think it is a live back...but with my ample gut pushed against it, who can tell? :wink:

Paul : Although I'm sure I'll go bright green with envy at your workshop I'd love to come over. Monday's good. Let me know where exactly and when.

Derek Visited with the Trident today ,

it sounded great , a long time in the making but worth the wait . it was a treat to hear Derek play , and exchange some ideas.

I loved the unique styling of the Guitar , I get bored of seeing the same old , same old, of factory guitars , it always a treat to see individual creativity at work .

I'm keen to see some of Derek's electrics .

Cheers,
Paul .
