I take it that it's this model[^]. It certainly looks beautiful and Chappers has built himself quite a fanbase with his guitars. To a certain extent, it reminds me of an old Westone that I had back in the mid 80s. I'll be interested to see how your through-neck holds up in varying humidity; it should do well but I've not spent as much time with through-neck models.

Yeps, that's the one.
Don't think the neck through will be an issue, my house is reasonably stable temperature and moisture wise.

Excellent. Let us know how you get on with it.

Just googled for it; wow, gorgeous guitar. I do love natural finish guitars.
One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I don't know.

Just googled for it also. Still asking me why guitarist can judge the Quality of an instruments by watching a Video. For me, I always had to hit the drums live to make a decision

Well I wasn't judging quality, just looks.

Nothing wrong with admiring a thing of aesthetic beauty... Doesn't mean I would necessarily buy one, but I'm sure the OP has played the thing...

Just this weekend I was saying to Herself, that my UPS must be really working well, because we haven't had a power failure since I installed it.
And what just happened? The power failed. 
The UPS cut in, the PC, monitors, WiFi, and internet continued uninterrupted; while everything else - including the TV Herself was watching - went black. Perfect. A couple of minutes later, the power is back, and it's as if nothing had happened.
Except Herself wants me to plug the TV and Sky box into the UPS now. Pity it's in a different room, so I can't ... That'll do as an excuse.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...

How much time do you get on the UPS dedicated? an hour? Mine used to be an hour but that was years ago.
|
|
|
|

In testing, about an hour. But I've got it set to shut down the PC after 10 minutes of failure - gives me plenty of time to save my stuff, shut down the NAS manually, and loads of capacity for subsequent cuts. They tend to come in waves round here!

If you don't mind, give me her contact information so I can explain to her how, for a mere $1500 or so, you can get her one that will keep the TV, fridge, and A/C running for the duration.
No need to thank me.

I was talking to Tesla [blatant name drop] the other day and, for my house, a couple of his "powerwall" 13.5 kWh house batteries will supply all I need! I am going to power them from solar panels so I can mostly be off the US power grid (except to sell them power on really sunny days). This will work here in Maryland where it is fairly sunny most of the time - I am not sure how well Wales would fair for this.
- I would love to change the world, but they won’t give me the source code.

Hopefully. Original electric companies didn't mind that, except for the cost of net metering, because they didn't anticipate that so many people would do it. With the increase of solar panel companies doing financing including setting up their own electric companies and with electric companies taking a greater percentage of renewable energy there is a push back to eliminate such programs.

No chance!
But ... looking at the specs for the TV and Sky, I'm looking at less than 150W anyway, so a small UPS for those two wouldn't be impossible. Only hassle is it wouldn't be able to run it for too long, and that would be what she wanted. And charge her tablet, and run the kettle - so that's a big no-no.
And no, I don't have anywhere to put a generator...

Given the price difference between a brand new UPS and just the battery for it, I tend to just buy a new UPS for my computer whenever I start to feel like the battery run time is no longer where it used to be.
That way, my system keeps running the longest, and other appliances around the house get to inherit a UPS that still works for at least few minutes (secondary PC...networking equipment...living room TV...etc). Plus they get the extra bonus of getting behind the built-in surge protector.
