@tv101 I thought there was some skullduggery going on with the hero points, now you’ve let the cat out of the bag. I wasn’t going to mention jazz banjo again but @darrenking already did it so here’s a...

To quote the Beatles, yeah, yeah, yeah! Me thinks Boo doth protest too much! And thus Boo clocks up more points commenting on his own post about Boo clocking up lots of points. How does he do it ?

Thank you very much Herb. Yes it is Mahogany and it is a particularly nice piece. When I put the Finishing Oil on, that lovely grain just popped out at me, it really does make you proud of all the sa...

Nice build John! Look at the grain on that, I assume, mahogany! Nice headstock design too... so hard to come up with something special! And... brave to do a refret. I'm in the process of that with my ...

No? Ok, I was only joking! Attachment : 9DC88516-F4AD-46A8-B7D5-71F5FB8079CB.png Attachment : 8E54EFF2-B736-461B-A2EA-7B4E09B5B427.png
