@steveadams. You did well to fix that Steve. I was surprised how easily it came out. 👍 🎸🎶🙏🙂

@markbailey Pretty sure I mentioned before but your guys on this forum are helping a lot keeping things ticking over. Thanks for taking the time to answer a few questions I’ve thrown your way too. Can...

Seriously though, why didn’t you specify no BLACK PLASTIC? @mattbeels - when I eat at Michelin restaurants, I don't (often) tell the chef what salt to use.

but I didn't make that one. I know @tv101, you can tell from the photo that it was made by a pro! 😂 Seriously though, why didn’t you specify no BLACK PLASTIC?

OK, maybe i did change the strings. But I wound them properly, according to the teachings.

So my two hot slags turned up today, along with the metal surrounds for them. Blanks due by the end of the week, this is gonna be fun 🙂

@tv101 Thanks for filling in the blanks on black plastic, I thought there would be a longer story.

so much more of the sound depends on what you plug it into Totally agree. Most famous players have their sound, doesn't matter what pickups are on what guitar, through which amp, they still sound lik...

Hot Slags went into my first Bailey BYOG course build. @tv101 curiously that’s what I was planning to use for mine, so much more of the sound depends on what you plug it into it’s hard to get recomme...

Professional builders aren’t offended by customers having specific requirements like no black plastic. @rocknroller912 (& @mattbeels). There's a story to this guitar. When I did my first BYOG wor...
