Thanks Graeme, Ursh and everyone who made it there. Also couldn't stay late, but enjoyed the time I had. Sorry if anyone had more questions that I couldn't stick around to discuss. I winged the workshop, but thanks to the insightful and intelligent questions from everyone I think we covered everything important.

Alan@ those tokai guitars are pretty awesom and play really smoothly. got the GAS now.
Somehow I knew that after seeing you spend so much time with it glued to your hand. ? I understand completely though - it
is a nice guitar. Thanks for bringing the block - looks perfect.
@Riaan - I hope you managed to sneak the Hamer into the studio (you should have brought an empty case along!) and hope it doesn't cost you a leather armchair or something.
@Matt - thanks for the advice on acoustic amps (let me know about that one you have). Investigated the Rolands further as well, but yet to play one). Also thanks for bringing the JJ along 12AT7 for me - getting used to it now, but it definitely has more headroom than what I had in before.
@Nick - Nice guitar. Thanks for letting me use it. The setup is a bit generic and rough by my standards I'm afraid - time restraints and the pressure of not wanting to risk messing up in front of everyone. It's better than it was, but could be a little better still.
