I've used Tru-Oil on guitar woods - it's not *just* for gun stocks, though it is very popular for those too. A maple fretboard won't absorb much oil...
Agreed @Boo "You're not paying me for the couple of hours I'll spend painting that thing. You're paying me for years of experience I've earned, so ...
Our music libraries must have a lot of overlap @Russ!!
[PS] ^^^ @mattbeels!
I also put this circuit together this afternoon That does "what it says on the tin" too - I've just plugged it in front of my little 5w valvey ...
It's a real lo-fi, low-wattage, basic amp! The controls are Grit, Gain, Tone and Volume. Tone doesn't do a lot, it's mainly about how dirty you want...

WD-40 - The smell of a real man!! That's the one that you "splash it on all over", right ????
Thanks @darrenking - the main challenge I have is deciphering the actual colours that are supposedly denoted by the coloured bands on the resistor. ...
That's interesting @clinton. I've always thought of set necks as being more "difficult", but - in reality - I think they're just slightly more risky...
Whooops - don't ask for pics @clinton!! (I sort of asked, in a roundabout and subtle way, but it didn't go down well 🤣 )
*This* is my job @Boo. 😆 😆 No "proper" work though. I declined the offer of an extension to my last contract last Dec (partly because they kept ...
^^^ [edit] I might miss one or three tracks from the playlist / postlist, because I *don't* like them. Prizes for spotting those. ...
Well spotted @mattbeels. Right then, if them's the rules, I'm going to start with track1, side1 of LZ1 tomorrow, and just post them all as they p...
