@tv101 @koendb I wouldn’t call it a correction your point of view is just as valid as mine and I think you are better qualified in electronics than me. In factory guitars it’s probably just cost. 70s ...

I was thinking about this only today, is shielding paint necessary/ advised? None of my factory guitars have any shielding, except on the pickguards.None of my partscasters or kit guitars have any s...

I’m not sure of your electrical knowledge. Mine is minimal @rocknroller912 - thanks for the correction/clarification!

@cheesewhisk Yes it’s pretty much standard in quality guitars these days and Mark uses the Stew Mac brand. A while ago there was a discussion on the live stream about finding cheaper alternatives to b...

@cheesewhisk - it really depends on how noisy (in terms of electrical interference) an environment the player is going to be playing in. It's a nice touch, a good sign of "I'm a proper guitar builder"...

@boo Looks good how did you make the patch

Good job @boo, you’ve been busy today!

@russ Sharon is great I listen to her a bit as well. She posts on Facebook and reads all the comments that people make, during lockdown anyway. She even replies sometimes. Last year she did a challeng...

Ahh. The plan unfolds @boo. 🎶🎸🙏🙂

Hey @rocknroller912. I was just watching the lovely Sharon Shannon on Fleadh TV this morning. 🎶🎸🙏🙂

My favourite tune, can’t wait to get back playing this in the pub. Don’t tell tv101 there’s a banjo at the back.
