Mate, I film everything and stick it on my youtube channel under NSJ Guitars! Everyone knows! 🤣

Made a start on the carve top, just stopped for food because I'm fading lol Got to say though, I'm thoroughly enjoying myself filing away in my own little world! Attachment : 20230220_175602-01....

@tv101 which one are you? 🤣 🤣

@boo Thanks mate, I'm using the gotoh floyds. Get them from axesrus for a cracking price! Brilliant units, hold tune great and a joy to use.
