@rocknroller912 although I suspect he will find that not much of it is useable for instruments. Phew! That’s me off the hook. Cosy log fires it is!

@darrenking Email me your address and I’ll send your good lady some for Christmas It is done!

Great feedback guys, so we’ll go with what we have available and I am sure that it will result in some fantastic guitars. Darrin, Mr Fabitrabbit, has already provided some slightly modified files for ...
