    What, really in Sherwood Forest?

    And, wow, a Carlsbro Stingray! That takes me back. Does it have the "suzz" button?

    Hi MarkB, yes, I live in sherwood forest, the village is in the centre of Sherwood Forest. The Stingray does have a suz button. A nice amp but the parts are getting hard to get, got some power.
