I’m quite jealous of you guys that get to just “walk up” to Mark’s shop for a visit. I’ll have to build and sell several before I get to experience the Scottish countryside. 😁

@poco7 dude my wife would shoot me if I took any guitar building stuff in the house, especially the kitchen. 😂 Even to build my very first kit I had to, “take it outside.” 😁

@poco7 that’s a great looking design - impressed you’re set up to build it at home. Lots of great support on here - inspiring me to build the design I did with Mark last week!

Welcome to the forum @roddy, you’ll love it here! That shot of you at the bench is great, it’s a view the rest of us haven’t seen for quite a while as Mark hasn’t been doing vids for some time now. Pe...

@boo you're right, Iron Gear has pretty good stuff, I remember using it in my early days as they were a little cheaper option. Days when I used to find cheap yet the best substitutes from instruments ...

Posted by: @frocesterbill Any recommendations - need to work well clean and dirty….. @frocesterbill Iron Gear are pretty good for the cheaper end of the scale. I’ve used them on many builds and I th...

I had visited the Iron Gear site - was worried they were too cheap……. I have used Bare Knuckles, SD, Creamery…. Also have a pair of Wilkinson Zebras in my Bandsman based build. All sound good…. Will p...

@frocesterbill: Iron Gear pickups are an inexpensive but excellent choice.. Pig Iron single coils or vintage 6TS.. perhaps combined with a Dirty Torque in the bridge. It all depends a bit on the style...

I am thinking of replacement for the Mexican Strat I sold last year. Three pickups - either three single core or pos two singles with a splittable humbucker in the bridge position. Any recommendatio...

@tv101 Are we having a Tuesday night chat tonight, it being Tuesday? I should be able to join in after my dinner.

Some mighty fine guitar playing on last night's show @jamesbisset. 👍😁 Another smooth performance last week @tv101. 👌 🎶🎸🙏🙂

Putting in my apologies for Bliss this week. Acoustic session in the local pub.

This week Acoustic Bliss was not bad at all.
