That's totally ok :) I'm stoked to even be getting a shirt :)Quote:

Words fail me, just had a look at the pics in GOTM it's stunning.
Fantastic Shazz, I love it.
Bravo Shaz, it came up a treat!
That has turned out splendidly Shazz! I love the grain detail on the back, it looks like a couple of faces singing away to me (or perhaps i should step away from the stain and solvents for a while???). i like the work you've put into the one colour burst, it really sets it off.
Congrats, thats a fantastic build result.:D
Thanks Swanny! I've been playing her quite a bit just not plugged in much yet :(Quote:

Yeah :( I did notice earlier on in the build! I haven't filled and re drilled at this point... It's only ever so slightly out but on such a small part is quite noticeable!Quote:

At some point soon I will do a video with all the time lapsed parts to show start to finish!
well done Shazz, sounds and looks great, you have time to enter April GOTM !!
I've enjoyed the thread and soon Doc may overtake 55 pages !
Thanks Wokka! The phone recording doesn't give it as much justice as the flesh!
She is already in GOTM April :) got a lot of good competition this month! doc should def take over haha
Sounds good looks good, thanks for the demo i enjoyed it.
Well done Shazz, some really nice tones coming out of that. I have a feeling your clip may bump the sales of the GR-1SF.
Thanks tony :)Quote:

You'll have to see if you can get your husband to buy you an amp for your guitar, something like a Vox AC30 perhaps.
On most of the guitars I've seen with Bigsby Trems on them, the strings went under the round bar on the front of the trem before going to the bridge rather than over it.
Nailed it! :)
Thanks Doc! I'm super happy with it :) I really am happy in the video I'm just sick at the moment hahaQuote:

If you've got a flu or something like that, try making yourself a lemon tea.
They are awesome! Pack a real punch for their size!Quote:

Nice one! I have a 3watt orange micro crush and it is actually rather loud for a 3.5" speakerQuote:

Hey Robin, thanks!Quote:

The guitar is said to be one of the easiest instruments to play, but one of the hardest to master, if you keep putting alot of work into the playing of it, it is going to reward you.
Yeah I'll def be doing lots of watching and learning! It def is an art to masterQuote:

Ahh yeah can imagine the sound. Will check it outQuote:
