Look what arrived as I was typing! See you on Saturday, hopefully! Hey folks - due to a series of power cuts we are going to have to postpone todays livestream - starting to feel like the apocalypse...

Firstly, I would like to wish everyone a slightly belated Happy new year. Mind you I wished that upon loads on people at the start of 2020 and look how that worked out! Secondly, having been unable to...

Usual scenario - first working Wednesday when I was working from home so could have sat in comfort and watched the livestream and there is a power problem.. Hope you are sorted now and have kept warm ...

Just realised that it's Wednesday and I'd missed the livestream, then found I hadn't missed it at all. Hopefully you're power is sorted now.

Take care guys. Hopefully see you Saturday. 🎸🎶🙏🙂

Sorry to hear of your power issues and I hope you are keeping warm and fed (including tea)! Now if someone could invent a rain powered generator you would be sorted! Speak soon Darren

Just been looking back at all your posts Bill. Excellent work. I don't know if I'm excited or nervous about getting started. 🙂🙏🎸🎶

Just re-read about my build - seems more than a year ago. Really like this guitar - plays well and was a fairly straight forward build - gave me confidence to do more.

Been playing Arthur - might do some tidying and apply some more oil to the neck also have a little bit of fret sprout to sort. Getting some good sounds - the pickups are Wilkinson - the humbucking sou...

I am getting used to my new guitar - used a Free-Way switch (3X3-03 ) - it has two sets of 3 ways (ie six positions) the down ones give humbuckers and the up three single coils - this is my second swi...

Bloody good course Mark !!! Thanks Bill - Top JOB! That Cap looks gorgeous with the F-hole - the coverplate is a nice touch... Glad to hear set up was easy - that is what we all hope for - HERO POINT...
