Cheers @tej. They do have some nice tools. 🙂🙏🎸🎶

@russ I’ve used tools from a variety of companies, ones I’ve had from Crimson Guitars are my favorite. They’re expensive but a delight to use and so far have been totally happy with them!

@Rocknroller912 Thanks for the link, I've just ordered my tin of Rustins G Shield, £9.48 including delivery is a good price from NWG. I looked at Rustins website, they want £10 + £7.50 postage.
