    An apple a day keeps the bass at play or something like that. Yeah drilling the holes for the ferrules is a scary prospect but I will do it at the men’s shed with a big drill press and hopefully not stuff it up.

    Pretty sure I am going to scratch build a Tele next but no hurry, might try to get some burl veneer for the top. Did you make the neck on yours Trevor or buy one from PBG.

    I have used PBG necks for my scratch builds. Mainly- 1. I do not think I could get the parts for a decent price, and 2. I'm not sure I could do a decent job!
