Never heard of them @russ.  Enjoyed the listen, but no idea what it’s about!!

but I worry that I won’t be able to do this when it comes to building a different design of guitar because I won’t have direct instructions to follow @Russ … worry ye not. Quite seriously, before my first course,…   Read more»

Took me a couple of minutes, but I eventually saw the pun. 🙂

Posted by: @boo @russ Here you go and there are probably more out there.  https://www.axetec.co.uk/guitar_parts_uk_098.htm  I’ve always found axetec’s stuff to be pretty good quality / VFM (with special mention to their incredibly good VFM pickups!)   It’s all MIC stuff,…   Read more»
