Thread: New builder from South Africa

    New builder from South Africa

    Hi.
    I recently ordered the EXA-7 7 string. Still waiting for it in the post.
    I have some ideas to do hand engraving.
    Still allot to learn though. Maybe Cameron Bancroft can give some lessons on how to use sand paper correctly :-)

    You're off to a flying start baiting the Aussies, though I wouldn't emulate Bancroft, as you need to sand the guitar smooth, not leave one side roughed up.

    Your plans sound cool, i'm really interested to see how it will turn out. Post plenty of pics of your process and your build, if you get stuck on anything, just sing out. There is a squad of folks here who are happy to help and give advice.

    Good luck with it!

    Yes well ball tampering is quite shameful...but to be caught cheating and yet still lose???
    Small peas however, when it comes to major league 'match fixing'.
    I guess Hansie Cronje is ancient history now eh?

    cheers Mark.
