    You just scored 10 DB browny points Gav! You probably have too many 6 string projects Gav. What's DB charge to build a bass? Would 2 or 3 cartons of coopers cut it? Haha

    OK Guys, I know the suspense has been killing you all....

    You will just have to hang in there for a few more days 8-)

    The Wudtone finish is complete, all that remains is for the new bridge to show up.. it would have been here last Tuesday if not for a minor stuff up with packing my last order from Stewmac... but I forgive them as this is the very first time they have ever got my order wrong and they were so apologetic it was almost embarrassing 8O

    So stay tuned, the great unveiling will happen early next week

    There is always a workaround for glitches, mistakes and other Guitar building gremlins.....

    If only SM got the order correct... Now we have to wait longer, THE SUSPENSE IS KILLING ME DB!!!

    Also, are routers easy to use and control???? And is there a different alternative to using one???

    Well Pest, Routers are not to difficult to use... the most important thing is to have a very healthy respect for them as they can be a dangerous tool if mishandled.

    To tell you the truth, my router scares the crap outta me, and I have got a really good one with all the safety gadgets you could imagine...

    The thing is to make sure the work piece is securely fastened down and the router bit is properly seated and the collet is TIGHT.
    Nothing is quite as scary as having a router bit fly out at several thousand revs per minute.

    I had one do this to me once, lucky for me it went away from me and the Man Cave window was open 8O .

    The bit in question still resides on my neighbours roof.... Lesson learned.

    What a shitty neighbour for not fetching it off his roof and returning it to you!
