Hi Lewdude, completely missed your message sorry, not yet used to how the forum works!
Don't gig at the moment unfortunately, been a while since I have but I keep getting those urges, not had a vast amount of time to play it recently, just as I get a new guitar work always seems to get really really busy, ah well, need to pay for it somehow. Love the guitar though, and looks wise, wow.. everytime I pop the case open I am speachless, that blacktop is perfect for me. Guess you feel the same, although I don't think the looks are for everyone..
Not sure why he let it go, but he does seem to have quite a churn of guitars through this shop
Home Page - Coda Music, check out the second hand pages, they had a fat neck ES335 which was one of his also. Tempted to get in touch with him, see what he says. He might want his Frampton case back!
Have a good weekend,
Phil.
