Waiting for one of these to call me a motherfucker, as per the internet.

A mate of mine collects Fenix, got about 50 or so. They're mostly very good. The odd absolute nail but he's got a cherry sunburst LP that is lovely and a short scale bass I'd kill for.

The wraparound bridge meant a lot of broken strings, she it would not hold in tune at all. I made a pickguard for it in DT at school, and it made it only slightly worse.

I've got two late 80s squier strats still. The Young Chang factory one is a joy to behold, all but a Japanese fender. The samick one is a plybody but has a great neck. Never had any intonation issues.

I remember Marlin guitars being in my mum's catalogue and I really wanted one. Played one some years later and was glad I never persuaded her. I had one of these, but in black. Neck like robin hoods bow.

Had the most lovely night out with my sweetheart. May or may not have gotten quite a long way into a bottle of brandy.
