    Now here's an idea!

    My Lotus Forum comrades are following my LB build as I have a thread over there. One of them has suggested this:



    Maybe there is a gap in the market.....

    So the first issue is £1.99, followed by 400 weekly instalments at £100 each...........................just like the new terminator build 1:2 scale that is being advertised at the moment.

    Just seen the Terminator ad....going to work out expensive. You can buy a full size one from Universal studios for less than that!

    Andy, maybe you could do a Terminator-inspired guitar...pair of illuminated red eyes in the scratchplate, body just stainless or nickel-plated tubes with everything inside on display. A sort of "spaceframe guitar"

    ....except it'd probably be a bastard to make, and sound crap...oh well, I'll get me coat...

    If you're gonna do it...make the neck like an arm, tapering to the hand, with the nut at the wrist and the machine heads on the ends of the fingers. OK, there's 6 of them, but this is a Terminator, innit!

    Ha ha, that's a very generous offer, but would you really want a cranky old git who can't play, hanging around scaring customers away?? You'd only sell those guitars to bands called "Arnie's Army" or similar anyway...

    Well we've not done too bad here - gone from building a Stratos in weekly parts to getting a job offer from a luthier. If that doesn't count as a major thread hijack I dunno what does
