Darryl you are officially ordered to cease.....artist....musician....and now sufferer of G.A.S. (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome) via building.

You are warned that accumulating so many skills will not be permitted as the mere mortals left behind will be confined in their sheds with hands on wood with sandpaper stains dyes and paint.

Love the finish you are getting on the axe. The music is awesome and the artwork screams tradition at me....nice. 😎

Thanks Ozz! I just get bored! Haha! It's why I end up having a crack at everything. And if there's anything I learn that I can pass on, I'm always willing to do so. I've always loved guitars, but buying one never seems to fill that void. Now that I've discovered building, I'm as hooked as ever! You're stuck with me, I'm afraid!

And hey - there's absolutely NOTHING wrong with being stuck in your shed! Thats a dream I'm still chasing! If I had a shed, I'd never leave!

Yes, this is very addictive and only restriction seems to be enough spare funds and hours in a day to keep yourself occupied.

If money was plentiful I would be like Woks and build one of everything.

Just ordered an Iron Gear Bridge pickup. Dirty Torque. Heard lots of good things about them. Priced really cheap too!! I'll post clips of before and after once they're installed. If the bridge is good, I'll refit the neck too 🤘🏾

New pickups are on the way! Keen to see how they sound!

Yeah cool. Thanks Waz! I'll check it out. Its either that, or do a design around the edges, a kind of burst finish in a style like one of my designs below:

It's all looking superb, Darryl. Well done.

My new Iron Gears have just turned up today after ordering yesterday. Suppose to be on the 3-5 day's free postage, but they must have sent the package out 1st Class. The P-90 looks good - braided lead as well, so it will look just like the one it's replacing. The Metal Machines also look good, but will need to wait until I build the EX-1 first.

Ordered Dunlop 6100 fret wire. Going to change the frets out for the jumbo size. Wish me luck!
