I would love a Martin but I'm not in the market for spending a load of money and their budget ranges are really low spec. With the Faith guitars they're ALL solid wood, even down to the bottom of the range, which is mental. I had a try of one at lunchtime today so I just need to sell the pink lady and then I'll pull the trigger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty sure the conversation went exactly like the time we were drinking and I put on Endless Nameless by the Wildhearts ("yeah it does sound broken, it's meant to sound like that"). Only thing I would nitpick about is the switch seems pointless, I'd just hardwire the unity gain mod and be done with it. Won't really change the sound and I can't imagine anyone in their right mind would choose to run it stock. (Yeah I'm clutching at straws here).

I've got a solid cedar Seagull S6 which was great value and is a great acoustic guitar. 7 hours ago, Blastronaut said: An FY2? Good taste! Nice graphic too. I built one for a mate a few years ago.

(Yeah I'm clutching at straws here). @Blastronaut yeah the switch and small things like that are what Tim does sometimes. He only makes small runs of his pedals (I think he released 6 of those Spitting Cobras), often just variations of another pedal he's already made - this was a variation of his FY-2 Fuzz Box which I wanted but could never get. Always prices them the same and often makes pedals for charity. The guy is a bit of a legend, although he'd hate to called that. He's built stuff for J. Mascis, Bob Mould and a bunch of local musos you probably haven't heard of. He frowns on anyone he catches selling his pedals for a profit, no matter how rare they are. So if you sell it on, you only ever charge what you paid for it and he was evicted from his shop that he'd had for ten year in Brisbane earlier this year and is trying to come to terms with that.

Funnily enough, I used to have a Simon & Patrick acoustic which is the sister company to Seagull (they're all part of Godin, I believe). A nice chunky dreadnought which I got when I lived in San Francisco and now wish I'd never sold. The Faith is £750 which is pretty good for what you get - it's solid Trembesi front back and sides, which is this figured Indonesian wood (think somewhere between Mahogany and Koa in looks). Abalone rosette, ebony bridge and fingerboard, satin mahogany neck. In fact here's a pic: PS @Toonpack ... Assuming the lad who's meant to be coming to pick it up today wasn't taking the piss, the Rose Gold Sex Machine lasted all of 3 hours on FB Marketplace before being snapped up.

I'll concede I was tempted to have a dig at his prices until I checked the exchange rate and realised (most of) his stuff actually looks incredibly good value. Those enclosures look great too, a bit of a break from the norm. It's the half-assed, overpriced and overhyped stuff Analog Mike and the like put out that really winds me up. Not that he needs the blessings of cunts like me but if this Tym's stuff sounds as good as it looks he's alright in my book, and that's before even mentioning the Mascis and Bob Mould link, nor the unexpected Teenage Fanclub themed boost pedal he has listed.

So all the guitars are designed by him and a lot of the innovative stuff he does with his top end Eggle guitars finds its way into these too. Made in Indonesia but really high quality control - I can't spot a fault on it, the flame maple binding is perfect, which is usually where you'll see fuck ups. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly had to cut ties with one of my favourite boozers thanks to one regular latching onto me that wouldn't shut the fuck up about Bon Jovi. 750 sure as fuck isn't my idea of budget range though. Hope it plays as well as it looks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally forgot about the Fanies pedal, did you read about it? He actually made a pedal for Norman and then did a limited run with NB's blessing. Btw that one overpriced pedal which I know would have offended your Scottish sensibilities, is a donation to the Sea Shepherd charity, hence why it is expensive. Tim's blog is an interesting read if you've the time and inclination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't really have much of a read on any of them bar the FY2, just a quick scroll through his shop. Too good to be true. I'll do some digging and see if I can find any dirt on him. (Joking like, but I'll try to make time to read over his blog. Seems like a good guy). How is the FY2 btw? You a big Jesus and Mary Chain fan or do you just hate your neighbours? Can't be be much of an audience for those kinda sounds. Edited May 23, 2021 by Blastronaut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
