Being in Babelsberg for 4 nights a week (until end of March), I'm spending a lot of time rattling around a hotel room. I thought about taking one of my guitars, but not on a plane, no way.
So I went out and bought one of these:

I only had a bit of time to play with it, but it seems to be fine, straight out of the box. It certainly has plenty of volume and sustain - I'll see what the pups have in them next week, when I take my Pandora up there.
I would have had more to play, but "Kyrill" left me stranded - and soaking wet - for 2 hours last night. I only get back, to the hotel, when I did, because I backed down and paid for a taxi, rather than wait for a bus that was, seemingly, never going to come.
Kyrill hit Berlin for about 10 minutes (other than a half hearted attempt overnight) - it was similar to trying to shower in a wind tunnel. Guess who chose that particular moment to exit the Berlin underground? By the time I discovered that I was at the wrong side of the road and had got back into the underground, I was sodden. By the time I'd got to the other exit, it was all over.
Oh, Babelsberg is a sort of suburb of Potsdam, which is a sort of suburb of Berlin (although you should never say that to a Potsdammer).
I started with nothing - and I've still got most of it left.
Did you know that the word "gullible" is not in any dictionary?

That looks like a nice Tele copy for the money, about $90 US.
From what I read, Kyrill caused quite a few problems over there.
Looks pretty nice. Do you have a small amp along too?
(Is my memory failing me, or wasn't Babelsberg -- as well as Potsdam, obviously -- also an important area for the German film industry before the Nazis destroyed it?)
Well we all shine on--like the moon and the stars and the sun.

Wow, looks cool, espescially for that price. :D How's the intonation and action, do the tuners stay in tune well? By the way, anyone know if they ship to Holland, couldn't find much on their site about it.
I'm going to take my Pandora PX4, to play through phones - much more hotel friendly :lol:
As for Babelsberg, it still is a major media centre - just down the road from our offices, there's the Babelsberg media city - TV, films, you name it.
I regularly eat in the local radio station's (RBB) canteen.

I'm on the lookout for a small multi-track tape recorder, so that I can record a few bits for the instrumental thread and for guess that riff (and maybe even a jam)
