@russ And these. 

@russ Check these out Russ 

Thanks to @russ and @nsj. The Waterslide Guitars Instagram feed reveals that the pickups are Mojo pickups, handmade in the UK.

Must admit, now that I’ve found them, I’m quite taken with the Charlie Christian model…[Read more]

@russ thanks Russ – this one was quite challenging as I was breaking a lot of new ground for me.

@russ I’d love to know what makes Easy French Polish easy. Longer curing time? Thicker solution? I came across a video on traditional FP techniques by The Art Of Lutherie which said to use a wet pad to strip and…   Read more»

@russ I’m all about the superstrat myself but it’s nice to build variety.

Thanks @russ !

Hey @russ, thanks for the reply and suggestions. Do you have any experience of these machines? I can use a plane to a degree, but my skills are limited for sure and practice can only make that better.  While processing…   Read more»
