A bit "iffy" actually! LOL :-) But it's all good fun.

Welcome Sammy,

Very informative discussion. Thank you. :-)

Progress today. :-)

King Casey,
The latest Hofner Beatles bass guitars made in China are a whole lot of fun and only cost a weeks wages. Very good finished quality (for the price). I got one about six months ago and...

Jagmaster which will be in Hog Bristle white. Sanded down to 600. Sanding sealer coated. Ready for undercoat.
And the two RIC's hanging inside drying various stages of various finishes.

Been doing a bit more on both RIC's and got a Pitbull Jagmaster thingy going too. I was fortunate enough to own a white Fender Jaguar brand new from 1986 - 1990 when I sold it to move from (at the...

Thanks guys. Yes Chungkee I have lots of ideas about how I would like my builds to look like. I have already started a diary over in the build diary section. I really like RIC's variations on red and...

Fretwork,
I am sorry, I do not know of the history of a slippery dip down at the pool. I have only been up here since 2008 and I have never been to the local swimming baths apart from two days ago...

Thank you for the kind words of welcome. I am currently pacing the house awaiting the Australia Post contractor delivery van and my first kit. It feels a bit like Christmas. I shall start a build...

Hello from the upper Blue Mountains, NSW. I have an RC-1 kit arriving tomorrow and an RC-4 kit on oder. I am very excited to see the work of others here and these extraordinary examples are filling...
