Hey Franken isn't it your birthday in a couple of day ? Simon said he is giving it away to the next forumites birthday as a present hahah

Haha what? Hell naww!

@Franken thanks! I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

nice stash Simon, don't tell me you are starting another scratch build ?

I was only joking about you giving the guitar to Franken, I will PM you my postal address Simon LOL

[SIMpleONe89]

Noice one Simon.

Thanks DB. Any tips for storing the wood I just got from StewMac? I shifted them to a storage room and put 2 sticks underneath to help with the airflow but not sure if that's enough.

@wokka lol you're being cheeky!

hey Simon, me cheeky, you have the wrong bloke LOL

storing timber, best store in a room that has a steady-ish temperature and humidity if possible.

I usually store in a room that is away from afternoon sun if possible.

think of the timber as cellaring a fine red wine

I think your garage is probably ideal, assuming there are apartments/rooms above ? Should be a nice steady temperature there

Where is the subscribe button!!?!? IS that an Ebony FB blank and Quilted Maple? Are we looking at another Super Strat Build?

Haha ok I got the wrong bloke.

I live in a typical Sydney apartment in a block of 8 units, and we have a garage, where I do my work, and a separate storage room. I also have an enclosed balcony which gets plenty of air flow but probably has the greatest fluctuations in temperature and humidity.

So do you reckon the storage room, which has no sunlight but only some air vents (makes a great area to hold a prisoner btw :O ), would be the best choice? I think I might purchase a hygrometer to check the humidity.

Not sure where that button is Franken! But yes that's an ebony FB and flamed maple drop top, plus a flamed maple neck. I just got them from StewMac. I figured out since I spent so much time making the templates and all might as well do another strat build!

I'll have to wait at least 2 weeks to get started on that. Have to wait for the wood to acclimatise first.

hey Simon I think storage room should be perfect for storing the timber. If you are starting in 2 -3 weeks then it's not that important

ask DB as a reference Simon he will say I am definitely not cheeky bwhahah
