Wow! Might have to crush up some charcoal!

You could do, I remember reading in one thread somewhere, that a builder had achieved a nice even brown using coffee. No specification on dark roast or decaf though.

Best use for decaf I have ever heard LOL.

Tell me about it Waz, I remember decaf for the pregnant wife....."the goggles, they do nothing!"

When I worked for a Big Insurance Company based in Queen Street a few years back it always used to crack me up when one of my male colleagues would order a skinny half strength decaf on soy or almond milk! Why bother wasting money on something that tastes so bland?

My motto is if you are going to drink a decent cup of coffee make it a good strong one and have early in the day if you are worried about caffeine keeping you awake at night.

My local does a triple shot dark roast long black that enables you to see across the burgeoning gulf of time itself........

There's nothing like a good decent cup of strong coffee to perk you up in the morning, I have a packet of Robert Timms brand Coffee grinds in my kitchen cupboard which I'll empty out into the coffee jar in the morning, I was waiting till I'd finished-off a small jar of Maccona brand instant coffee before I opened up the packet.

I can drink 3-4 cups of espresso coffee and not have a problem, 1 cup of instant and yowsa, jitters galore.

That's interesting, for me it doesn't really make any difference whether I drink instant or ground coffee, the effect is pretty much the same, coffee contains a substance called Caffeine, Caffeine is basically a stimulant, I've read online somewhere that if a person drinks enough cups of coffee they can start having hallucinations, whether that is true or not is open to debate, I just made myself a nice cup of Robert Timms coffee and it was quite enjoyable, I used a product called Coffee Mate as a whitener, I definitely prefer the taste of coffee made from coffee grinds to instant coffee, which tends to have an artificial taste to it.

[FrankenWashie]

It's something in that "Artificial" quality that does it to me I'm sure Doc. It seems particularly bad with the powdered versions. Moccona less so, but it still gets me a wee bit.

Yay Mongrel! I'm getting my LP-1 today as well!

We shall share our builds on the forums!

Mine arrives today - I've told the missus that if she leaves the house today she can sleep on the couch. Her response to that was that I can sleep on the couch anyways. So YAY! More time with the guitar

*cough* I think Im developing an illness - I might not be able to go into work tomorrow... Might have to get a round of guitar body sanding antibiotics into me *cough... fake wheeze... cough*.

YAY!
