Fender Double Fat HH Stratocaster Review

This review was submitted by Guitar Jar contributor: Jonezee

Quite a funny story why I ended up with this guitar… about ten or so years ago I had been out on the booze all night and was making my way home on the train about 7 in the morning.

Is it all about the thrill of the chase?

Is it all about the thrill of the chase?

This feature was submitted by Guitar Jar contributor: Pedals For Hire

Long, long ago in a land far, far away, before council tax, Miranda Hart and X Factor (what a lovely thought), there were cavemen who roamed the wilds doing cavemen-type things. As well as hunting beasties and drawing lopsided pictures in excrement on their walls, when they saw something new and interesting they were drawn to it and collected it for their cave.
