Just making a xmas list for Mrs JP with a Baggy fret jig kit at the top and was browsing the GM merch stand.... I haven't got a black t shirt yet as they're a new addition but I do already have 3 t shirts, a beanie and a workshop apron (ta Carol).

Anyone else a GM merch hound?

3 course t-shirts, to go with my 3 course builds.

A guitar makers knife and rasp.

Multiple rolls of NEC tape

I bought two black Bailey T-shirts a few years ago. I’ve also just ordered two more T-shirt’s, one of which is a GM one and the other is a long sleeve Bailey. In the same order, I have a beanie and workshop apron coming, oh and some of those bags of off-cuts. I’ve bought a guitar makers rasp and knife too, not to mention all the body and neck blanks, fretboards, truss rods etc. There maybe some other stuff I’ve forgotten about. 

I would argue that @tv101 is the biggest Bailey fanboy. 🤘😁🤘🎸

Has anyone got a photo of Mark putting the bin bags out in his boxers and cross?

Well it’s not me. I did just order two shirts and a beanie though. But I was just going through a junk drawer and I found an old photo of Mark putting out the bin bags in his boxers and cross. Does that count?

@tv101

Hey, you’ve probably never been asked this before but how do you change pu’s on your Bandsman? Is it a blender or rotary switch with splits?

@matt-beels

It's not actually a Bandsman - it's a different design - but the question remains valid ...

It's a Rotary switch.  The guitar has got a full PRS wiring loom, together with the HFS & VB pickup combination.  I've completely happy with the guitar, so I don't envisage ever changing it!

It's only a guitar @Boo - a great guitar, but only a guitar ...

I think with 5 BYO courses, several t-shirts, lots of tools, 2 workshop aprons and at least one visit to Carol and Mark a year (not in 2020 though, I think you know why) I must be in the top 10.

If you’d paid more attention on the first 4 courses, that 5th one would have been unnecessary.
