The neck is quite chunky - probably a couple of mm thicker than my Bandsman build - thought it might be a problem but it feels good to play. The pickups are by Mr Fabulous from Australia - they wer...

chemical metal @rocknroller912 @markbailey Oh yeah, I keep forgetting about a bit of bog! Cheers.
