"That's Bruce Dickinson!" “Bruce who?” “Bruce Dickinson, the singer of Iron Maiden!” “OK, can I have another pint?” 😂😂😂

@Boo I was on the ferry from Hook of Holland to Harwich and was biding my time at the bar when I noticed a group of excited girls standing around a little long haired man in shorts. I asked the barkee...

Bruce was raised by his grandparents in my home town of Evesham. He was very generous and several times bought me some beers in the Royal Oak, whilst we chatted about our mutual love of Deep Purple. ...

Yep. I'm in regular contact with Melvyn - as the book is available in electronic form it will constantly be updated and added to. Melvyn wasn't expected to see the year out! He ageed to be intervie...

@boo I love shape of your headstock and the grain pattern, looks ace Thank boo, it's a bit like opening a lucky bag when you cut the angle on the headstock, sometimes you're lucky.

I've made a little bit of progress, not a lot as its too cold to be out in the garage for long. The headstock is shaped and thicknessed, still going to plan so far. Attachment : 20201230_162323.jp...

Thanks, no more progress to report, although I did get a Bailey kit and a Bagpress fret slotting jig from Santa, no excuses now. Bandsaw is a Record BS300

@peebee The practicecaster looks really good. I like how you took the belly carve into the top bout. Any more progress? What kind of bandsaw do you have?

@rocknroller912 I had a look and it’s not out yet but you can register on his website to be notified when it’s ready, which I did. I have the first two editions and they’re great, obviously.

Or it could be “Smaller profit margin Guitars” @boo Yeah, that’s probably the best we can hope for 🤬🤞😂

My first electric was an Aria Pro

@clinton Wow, you’re a busy guy! I really like the headstock in that first pic. Like an Aria.

@mattbeels @eddie6string Melvyn was advertising the latest edition of his book earlier this year so it must be finished. He was also advertising his equipment for sale but most of it was gone by the t...

@eddie6string Yeah he’s got cancer I believe. He posts an update on FB every so often regarding the new edition of his book, I hope he gets to complete it. Nice that you might get to interview him

@louis-kerckhove Good job on the body design, it’s always nice to see an different/oddball shape! Have you carved the neck yet? If so, was it difficult to do? I’ve heard it can be rather splintery. W...

Like that Headstock!

Hoping to interview Melvyn soon - his health ain't good, so timing is a challenge

@boo That looks pretty sweet! Great job on the neck heel and using a tone block. Did you get it from Grainger Guitars? How do you like the Babicz bridge? How well do the strings stay in the nut? I don...

Thanks @Boo. Ordered the bigger one today.
