    Exited about an ES-12G!

    Decide, order, pay, wait, wait a bit more, wait a bit longer, wait what seems like forever...
    It’s in Singapore, it’s in a container, it’s at the port, it’s on a boat...
    It’s in Aus, it’s at Adam’s place, it’s in the post, it’s at Ken’s...
    It’s at the airport, it cant go as hand luggage? It’s in the hold!
    It’s in the air, it arrived in Dubai, it’s near the Marina
    Ken’s car is broken and he can’t deliver, I fell off my bike and can’t drive,
    It’s OK, Mo can deliver it!
    It’s here, it’s here!

    Open the box, WOW!
    Mock build, dry fit, everything is here, looks great!
    Don’t have to wait anymore, I have read loads of posts, guides, instructions and watched countless videos on wiring, soldering, sanding, sealing, staining, graining, painting, glueing, screwing, setting, fretting, filing, binding, stringing and tuning.

    Just hope it’s playable when I’m finished!

    Many thanks to Adam for always keeping me informed of my order.

    Far out! I hope Igor doesn’t help FrankenWashie with his guitar neck alignments. Welcome Ade.

    Igor does the sanding, inlays, spray painting and limb reattachments. Also mixes the drinks afterwards.

    ES-12G Progress

    I saw how many don’t like scraping the binding, so I have tried to mask it up.
    This is also in the plan as the back, front and headstock are to be stained and the sides and neck will be waxed.
    If I can work out how to resize photos on the I-Pad I will share my efforts/disaster/outcome!
