If you hover your mouse over it in IE (assuming that's what you have), it should display the address. Alternatively, right click it and check properties.

It used to be two guitars, both japanese Fenders, a 91 Hot Rod Reissue 50s and a 90 HRR 60s model. But one of them sounded great, and one of them played better than the other, so I crossed the streams... Then added a pair of custom shop seymour duncan pickups and an oversized machined block for the floyd rose, and replaced all the electrics, and made up a new scratchplate... But I've slightly run out of enthusiasm so it's been nearly-finished for about a year. I'm half terrified that I won't like it when it's finished So instead I play my £50 Squier Tele...
I've got an HRR strat- my first Fender. Needs fixing- a few of them had wood problems behind the trem- so I've gotta get a bit of wood slotted in there (oo-er!!). I've got a Seymour Duncan 59 in the neck and the original DiMarzio whatever it is in the bridge, I love that guitar- It sounds ACE. Just need to pop it to Charlie Chandler to give it a damn fine fixing.

Wideboy- lovely guitar that, I take it it's an RG? I've got a RG500EX- see the avatar. Needs a new neck and some decent pickups, but I love that guitar too.

Other axes are a Fender Montara acoustic- lovely tone, needs a new machine head. And a bit of setting up. Also an Epiphone Les Paul Black Beauty 3 pickup. Could do with some decent pickup as they squeal like piggies when the amp's cranked up. And a Fender Strat Plus. Needs the frets doing and the Lace pickups are a bit characterless, but another goodun.

In fact, most of my guitars need some attention to them. It's gonna cost a fortune, but I'm thinking of maybe doing some gigs next year, so it'll be required. Only my bass is in fine fettle. A washburn 5 string. It's lovely.

I might post a pic of the collection at some point.

It's good to rock.

Aye, the other one had the crack by the trem post, where the cavity was routed too big, I imagine yours is the same? Easy enough fix though unless it pulls too far, this one's reinforced around there with a bit of rock maple cut to shape and glued in, horrible job though.

Not many of these left... Feller from Iron Maiden has 5, bought them off Richie Sambora. I wish I could do that, just phone up, "Oi, Sambora, got any spare guitars?" "Aye, as it happens they just made me a load of custom shop strats so my old japanese ones are going spare, yours for a tenner Adrian"
