@rockpile99 Anything can be used for jazz, you just have to declare yourself “experimental” and/or “free”.It takes commitment though, you have to repeat the motif (no matter how painful) until somebody in the audience (ideally wearing a poloneck) nods knowingly.

@rockpile99 Glad it worked out ok, sorry should also have mentioned that it’s not at all quick, your results look pretty similar mind. I had a small chip to sort too and had to craft a new surround for the…   Read more»

@rockpile99
It looks great. I especially like the headstock, it looks a bit like a Caparison. Excellent work!
