Well things got really odd when I got home from work today, there on my doorstep was an exhaust shaped box, which contained, yep, my exhaust.
Looking at the labels on the cartons, it seems that the bloke who sold me the down pipes had nothing to do with the guitar, so who the hell did.
As for the Fender, I wonder if its fools gold or the real thing. I know foc all about them apart from they sound good and are twats to play but I looked at a few web sites and if it is genuine it could be from the mid 60's or at least the neck may be. A mate's going to pull the neck off and check for serial numbers so we'll know for sure.
