one of my bands 1966 [approx] was named ROMFT we seen it on stickers in the local boat club, was only later we found out what it meant, it was a navy saying in those days to join the royal navy you signed up for 12 years. Hence Roll On My F*****g Twelfth. Needless to say we changed the name. I still have a photo taken in 1966 two of the members are still giging .b.

Topic: COPY GUITARS (3 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
IVE BEEN PLAYING 50 ODD YEARS AND IN THAT TIME IVE BOUGHT MANY COPY GUITARS. ONE OF THE BEST PLAYING WAS A BROADWAY RICKENBACKER .I SOLD IT TO MY BROTHER IN LAW WHO COULD BUY ANY GUITAR [HE EARNS MORE THAN I COULD COULD SPEND]. HE IS NOW TRYING TO TRACE THE SAME. IVE ALSO HAD A VERY GOOD SQUIRE STRAT THAT I SOLD ON FOR MORE THAN I BOUGHT IT FOR. [WHY]??? MORAL FIND A GOOD COPY THAT PLAYS WELL WITH HARMONICS 12TH FRET 5TH FRET IF YOU CAN GET 7TH FRET ALL THE BETTER. YOU HAVE A GOOD NECK AND BODY. WHEN YOU GO TO BUY FOR YOUR DISCOUNT INSIST ON A SET OF SCHALER MACHINE HEADS AND YOU WILL HAVE NO TUNING PROBS.
I HAVE 1966 GIBSON ES330TD, 1970 FENDER STRAT, THE FIRST THING I DONE ON BUYING WAS TO CHANGE MACHINE HEADS TO SCHALER NO MATTER WHAT PLEASE BUY A GUITAR BECAUSE NO MATTER WHAT STANDARD YOU GET TO ,NOTHING WILL EVER GIVE YOU AS MUCH BUZZ AS PLAYING SHOULD YOU PLAY IN A TOP BAND OR AT YOUR NEIGHBOURS BARBECUE WITH 3 CORD WONDERS.
