Fretboard mug

What's Hot

Well it arrived today in its lovely box. Once exposed to the light is almost glistened in its whiteness, and a blue fretboard logo on the side. When performance tested it passed with flying colours!! Mug is nicely balanced, not too heavy and no rough sharp bits. Highly recommended. R

    Rules.

    I'd like to hear some sound clips.

    Also a bit of information on whether it works for all genres of hot drinks, or if, like a Kramer guitar, it is built just for coffee. I mean hard rock.

    Not just hot drinks ... any temperature of drink.  

    And not just drinks ... imagine eating your cornflakes out of one of these.  Or your scrambled eggs.  

    This thing is more flexible than Miss BendyLegs whilst also being not-at-all Bendy.

    I did think about having a "most innovative use for a theFB mug" competition, but bearing in mind the track record of some of our members, decided that such a compo probably wouldn't be sensible.

    It looks good, but I think I'm more of a vintage tFB mug type person.

    I can confirm that it successfully holds urine.

    Does it stack well with other mugs? ;-)

    I play guitar and take photos of stuff. I also like beans on toast.

    Brilliant, a Mug that takes the Piss ;-)

    Given the surprisingly vast response you can get on here if you mention coffee I'm hoping that next will be The Fretboard espresso cup. 
    I’ll handle this Violet, you take your three hour break.

    You can use it upside down for that cool Hendrix / wet feet vibe.

    How about a theFretBoard ready-reckoner?

    It could cover selection of amplifiers and pickups, relationship advice, should I go to A&E... so much rich discussion that could be condensed into three pieces of thin card joined in the middle with a cheap brass rivet.

    I definitely think we should have cappuccino cups and saucers next, not the buckets that Costa use but slightly more dainty ones that Starbucks have. 

     We are still European, for the moment anyway so coffee is the drink or wine. 

    Your life will improve when you realise it’s better to be alone than chase people who do not really care about you. Saying YES to happiness means learning to say NO to things and people that stress you out.

    Question on the logo - are we moving the website design to reflect the new logo? If so, any ideas when?

    Are they dishwasher safe?

    I'd like one for work as someone has stolen my 99p Tesco mug (I bet it's the transport chap but he's bigger than me so I daren't accuse him)

    I was bidding on a JoBo mug on ebay but the deal fell through at the last minute (seller was a time waster) so this could be perfect.

    The mugs I print on are sold as dishwasher safe, havent had any reports of issues so far.

    I think @TTony would prefer to do them in batches. The smallest so far has been around 10 but as more people buy them and the demand slows, he might agree to do smaller runs.

    Mrs Mudslide made me a nice pretend cappuccino in the pod machine with some choccy sprinkles. Much better in the FB mug than ever before. The only upgrade on this would be a vintage model. I have pre-empted this by buying two - one to use and one to keep NOS for the investment.
