Ahh Ron, I play a Custom Shop Flying V Custom, 1 piece mahogany body, 1 piece mahogany neck, Les Paul Ebony fingerboard, Les Paul Custom binding and finished in Jeff Becks Ox Blood making it unique. I have an Ibanez AS93 to which I fitted a Blues Engine and Dirty Torque pick up combination, my main acoustic is a 1983 Washburn Festival EA series a few serial numbers away from the one played by Nuno Bettencourt on "More than words" and JImmy Page also plays one. I play through a Marshall JVM410H and 1960A Cab, very few pedals, just wah, Chorus, Phase and delay...WE'l have to organise a Jag/Jam! 70's is my favourite era. Really interesting on the names...Love "Daffers" Hopefully get some more pics today!

We generally name our cars and the new van has a name already, after only a couple of weeks; (Ludwig, as in Ludwig Van BeethoVan!). But for some reason we've not found a name for the S-Type yet that has stuck. I normally call her 'the Jag' which could get complicated if I buy another of the marque. And my mother in law has an X-Type named Charlotte, so we don't get them confused...

I will take some more pics tomorrow! She is in for an A/C Re-gas tomorrow at a garage recommended on here, then next week for a double din head unit...I am using any excuse to drive her, like R2e I now have more milk than Asda...Other than the stereo all is remaining standard, just as she left the factory. Has anyone else named their Jaguar? Care to share? Mine is called Belinda May. Convoluted reason why but I christened my Fathers Ford Anglia "Belinda" in 1965 when he bought her from Raymond Way in Kilburn. A Midnight Blue 997cc Deluxe, reg FYL167C. As a child I loved that car and made up stories about her. Calling a car "Belinda" became a mark of how much I liked a car, it has been the ultimate accolade that I could give. Here's where it gets complicated! I play in a band, we cover some T-Rex material, we do a version of "Jeepster", where Jaguar is mentioned (Just like a car/you're pleasing to behold/I'll call you Jaguar, if I may make so bold...) We then segue that into "I love to Boogie" which opens with "Belinda May's Fender has a Cadillac bone" So Belinda May she has become! (Although I play a Gibson and not a Fender...)
