Great work @boo! How do you like the EVO Gold wire? 

Great looking build @boo! Sorry to hear about your problem with the super glue but it was good for a laugh, sorry! But seriously, how would you get a medium CA to flow through a fret slot? I would think…   Read more»

@boo
Ive heard of people being attached to their instruments but that’s real dedication 

My other hand is stuck now too! Ahhhhhhhhhh………

What a nightmare @boo. I’ve got an image in my head now of Frank Spencer building a guitar.

Coming along nicely @boo. 
🙂🎸🎶🙏

@boo Yes I normally buy it in coils rather than in straight lengths (although I do buy straight lengths sometimes). One good place I get it from is Tone Tec Thanks for that, I’ll have a look. I bought my…   Read more»

Sounds familiar @Boo, I think I’m getting to the stage where building another kit again won’t teach me too much… And expensive hobbies… when I’m not being a wannabe luthier I’m a wannabe cyclist! At least the n+1 rule apples…   Read more»

All the curves in all the right places @boo. 😁

@boo I agree with you about nitro and it’s hard to source in the UK anyway.. Oil finishes which dry without UV are available for brushing but are very expensive. I think we are all learning from the work that…   Read more»
