Fender UK sell just about everything in their current range and ship for free for orders over £50. They sell at about the same price as most other UK-based online retailers; in fact the prices for new US-made Fender guitars seem to be the same price wherever you look, a bit like a cartel where nobody sells cheap and they all make the same margins. You can pick up a bargain from the main online dealers when new ranges of certain items are starting to be stocked (I picked up both my US Tele Deluxe and my US Strat Deluxe cheaper than they were then selling 'Standard' models for, I guess as they were making room for the new 'Elite' range (which replaced 'Deluxe'). I have noticed Fender UK never seem to discount amps and guitars, only occasionally running promotions on accessories etc. That's probably because they only seem to have the most up to date models of any range up for sale.

Yay! I are now copious famously ?

Shane, could you not acquire one direct from Fender, e.g: https://www.fender.com/en-US/acoustasonic-guitars/telecaster/american-acoustasonic-telecaster-left-handed/0972018221.html

That should handle all my compression needs. It's only taken 15 years, but I feel I no longer have to explain my crap jokes to you ? "Well done" ~ John (2011)

I've just shared a little catch-up email conversation with Mike 'Spacey' and am happy to report that he's doing great!

Yeah, good luck for whatever comes next. I've had some great (and varied) jobs over the years, even worked for myself for over 10 years, but one in particular turned out just like the one you mention - in hindsight (ain't it a wonderful thing!), I stuck around far too long and dearly wish I hadn't. Life's too short and all that ? .

I ..... er ............... mis-posted ?

To be fair, if not a tad harsh, his OP does contain as many exploitable double entendres as yer average Carry On film ?

That might explain this bit..... Do I require copious popcorn?

I believe it was due to me not locking the door to the loo. Nicely translated into real English ?

Pfft …. …. you're doing it all wrong Edwidge ? Tw@t one of these somewhere into your signal chain and you'll be good to go:

I've seen that movie. Quite dreadful.

Cannae beat a bit of Motown.

No Photoshop image to go with that Ken? ?

Fixed. Them septics across the pond find it difficult enough spelling English words properly, let alone having to translate them first.
