I think I need a crash course lesson at yours (or mine) when all this blows over...I think your local(ish) to me You @Deej and @Boo are pretty close geographically. At least, until Boo emigrates.

I'll start practicing my surprised face @jonhodgson 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@boo, it's ok we'll just pretend we haven't seen it before. I'll start practicing my surprised face😮

So I deciced to make this a 4+2 headstock for no particular reason Attachment : image.png Don't think you need a reason to try something different! Guitarists are a very conservative bunch ...
