Loving that wood ?

I have build about 8 CBG’s and about 9 electrics and 1/2 an acoustic at the date of writing this. I’ve also repaired and set up quite a few including replacing a broken truss rod on a Warwick bass I...

Posted by: Carnivorous HERBivore You must be proud of these Deej - great work! Thanks @carnivorous HERBivore Still learning but really enjoying when I get the time.

Posted by: John L Wow! These are all beautiful guitars. My favourite is the Super Strat/Ibanez style one, that’s really grabbed me. I am on a natural progression towards something like that. My first...

Glad to have you Jonathan! Happy hunting -Let me know if you get stuck finding anything. Remember you don't need to go mad and buy whole sets of things! (most people do...) Better to buy one quality c...

Hi Herb thanks for the welcome, and the warning. It's Saturday and time for a bacon sarnie soon. Does life get any better than that? J
