Hi All,

hi Dedman,
firstly thanks for reply, i dont have any tuners yet and as its my first build would be more than happy with any tuners.

also happy to pay postage and something for parts too.

cant believe forum members offering to donate stuff , i really just posted thread as was unsure about the stuff/cost i was seeing on gumtree/ebay etc.
hope i get to pass something on to a forum member some day and get the karma points

others members have helped me greatly already (thanks DK & Wokka) too

happy to take on a humbucker as well , if i can make that work - i dunno - plenty of sanding and carving to do yet...lol

anyways let me know easiest way for you i can sort postage out?

thanks and regards
Guvna (Gav)

Hey Guvna you got enough parts ? I got a tele bridge (2 saddles per adjustment like my lap steel) and tele bridge pup I can post Saturday morning. PM me your address

Loving your avatar might convince a builder to choose that colour paint haha

No payment, just pass the karma on to someone else down track.

Standard kit Tele Neck & Bridge pups plus standard 3 saddle Bridge.

Speaking of red wine, I'm currently enjoying a Tamberlane Shiraz, preservative free & brewed in Orange NSW.

In SA try the Minnow Creek Shiraz if you can find it, it's stunning

currently sippin/ gulping on a Uleybury Cab sav 2006 , unbelievably 16 % , even the father in-law18300 who drinks only the best is impressed!

Large Sorry in advance to all the guitar builders/enthusiasts here but i'm gonna be hopeless at this forum with the constant distraction of Beer and now Red Wine
