Likely one of those tall cool ones he's always posting pictures of. 8)

I think this is close:

Peckham is an area of London, England, in the London Borough of Southwark, located 3.5 miles south-east of Charing Cross, about one mile (1.6 km) east of Camberwell and one mile west of New Cross.

Peckham has never been an administrative district, or a single ecclesiastical parish in its own right, but it developed a strong sense of identity in the 19th century when Rye Lane was one of the most important shopping streets in South London. The area is identified in the London Plan as one of 35 major centres in Greater London.

The area known as Peckham covers a large area of South London and takes in many diverse communities. There has been a steady gentrification of some of the areas to the south of Peckham and this has meant an influx of cafés, wine bars, niche shops and artists' studios.

A few highly publicised crimes have tarnished the area's reputation. Cases such as the murder of Damilola Taylor in November 2000, the shooting of eight or nine (contemporary reports vary) people queuing outside Chicago's nightclub in the summer of 2000 and three murders in February 2007 (one of 15 year old Michael Dosunmu in his bedroom) have given the impression that Peckham is dangerous and lawless. However, incidents like this do not reflect the lives of a large majority of the people living in the area!!!

Might that be the edifice upon which George Mallory developed his climbing skills. :?: The snowy peaks of Peckham :shock:

This is my War and Peace and I love it. My favorite thing about tall of this besides the actual amazing work itself is Ceri's awesome attitude and humor. I love the modesty that you have shown when we all know just how amazing your work has been. I still laugh when I think back to about a week before I found this thread. I was tinkering with my Epi LP for about a week getting it perfectly set up for myself. That involved some bridge adjustments and some truss rod adjustments and I thought I was the man and then I opened this thread,lol. I can't wait to see the finished product. Congrats and good luck with the rest.

The fact that you'd attempt to set your own guitar up, let alone be happy with the results. Is a thing you need to congratulate yoursef about. Every builder/tech/luthier started somewhere and its usually there. Most people wont even try.

Good grief - look where this thread went now! :lol: :lol: :lol:

That picture is very familiar... That building used to be the Amalgamated Union of Engineering Workers HQ - till they moved. Now it is a West Indian hostel of some kind.

Since it's been raised, Peckham is a district of London who's name is well known in Britain due in part to a dubious national reputation and also as the location of a long-running popular sitcom. Peckham's fame is, uh, not good - so all my stuff about mountain peaks, sun drenched beaches, blue lagoons and snow leopards is a quiet little in-joke between me and the other Britons here.

Dunno quite what to compare it to in America to convey the idea - Harlem maybe? In fact, I am told that Harlem is quite gentrified in parts these days, and it's the same where I live. My borough runs from truly horrid crime ridden concrete estates (projects, to North Americans) in the north to leafy avenues with huge houses that sell for millions and are occupied by TV producers, politicians and lawyers in the south.

I live kinda midway between the two.

Oh by the way. Eight people shot outside a nightclub (mentioned above) sounds even worse than it really was. In fact nobody was killed and most were not badly hurt - though I think we have to admit it counts as more than youthful high spirits. It was a long time ago...

Anyway. I'm expecting you all for a drink! You'll be perfectly safe - The Wire it is not, round here. :D

Cheers - C
