Posted by: @mickcarr Been hobby building for about twenty years, nothing special, mainly teles, strats and the odd bass. Basses are quite often “odd”. Think it’s something to do with the people tha...

Posted by: @frocesterbill you can help by having white (or light colours) on the ceiling and walls to bounce light onto where you are working. I’ve got aluminium bubble insulation wrap on my ceilin...

Watching, watching, watching ... I’ve had to go back to work, but 1pm on Wednesdays is booked out in my work calendar. Some people book “dentist appt” or “kid’s party” or “take car to garage”. I boo...

We’d all be wearing masks anyway ...

Hi Roel - seen you on the live-streams - great to see one of your builds too. Lots of people start with a Tele (simple construction) ... but a *multi-scale* Tele is a bit unusual! Looks really good, ...

Posted by: @frocesterbill What about a talk through with pictures of some of your builds Mark - some of the one off builds perhaps? That’s a great idea Bill.
