@nsj so you’ve got a makeshift router table for small parts eh? Nice idea, I like it. 😁

Same here, I look for LOG or AUDIO when buying pots, not A or B.

So, that's a "maybe" ?? The answer - of course - is just to ignore the tone pots. Never use them ... 😉

@nsj I've got to ask, where did you find these weirdo pots? These were amongst a job lot of harnesses from ebay, somebody clearing out their junk boxes. I've only got myself to blame.

@nsj Ha, superb. Nice collection.

@nsj Very nice work again Neil. 🙏🎶🙂🎸

@tv101 I’ve heard a rumour that some do, yes! 😆 Myth and legend?

Hang on just a minute ... People sell guitars???

@nsj Looks stunning as usual. Are you like me that your guitar collection is outgrowing the space in your house or do you sell your creations on? Do you make them for yourself or for customers?

That is the correct opinion @koendb 😆

Awesome @nsj! That neck looks soo good. I generally prefer guitars without pickguard, but looking at these pictures, I realize that, for me, a strat looks weird without one 🤔 The back looks k...
