Clear coated the Bandsman neck again today, I’m starting to get a decent finish now. I’ve got a few paint defects in it but I’ll sand it and apply more clear in another few days. Attachment : 58D...

I’ve wondered the same thing myself @boo but whatever they are I’ve got 166 of ‘em aaaaaaaand a bitchin’ 6/10 rating, not bad eh? 😆

I'm betting he's doing what @clinton described. (what was that??) @tv101 I dunno! 😳

I miss talking ( or rather, listening ) to people with a good story while having a beer Yup, you said it dude @koendb Yep, it’s going to make a comeback though, have you heard? ✊

I usually take before and after pics of repairs now so that if someone complains I can show it was like that from the factory. @rocknroller That’s good pratice. I always look over the guitar with th...

@Russ - I needed to get a 1/2" bit once when I was using imperial sized bridge posts. There was no way that a 12.5mm hole was going to be big enough, and the posts just fell out of a 13mm hole (drille...

On the subject of Imperial v Metric. Does anyone know if there is any need for Imperial drill bits or can I always use Metric? 🙂🙏🎸🎶
