Hi, Bob.

I doubt if your noise problem has anything to do with the steel pickguard. I have one of these (see upthread), and have no noise problem. The only thing I can think of is that you haven't ...

Lovely playing, Doug.

That's lovely. Intonation is spot on.

Thank you, that's very generous. I'll transfer it to the media centre and give it a listen.

That was lovely.

That's lovely.

That's lovely. Thanks for sharing it.

That's got a great sound, Glenn. I wish I could get hold of one.

I have a couple of Maton electric guitars, and they have the best necks I've ever played.

Looks cool. I think Cole Clark guitars from Australia is some kinda offshoot from Maton, at least I remember hearing something like that. Cole Clark makes some fine Ricky like steels.

Glenn, Cole C ...

Very tasty.

Ooh! Pretty. Probably way past my price point, though.

I would love one, but it's way past my price point.
