Thank you for the inspiration

[Humphrey]

HI
I'm happy to contribute to your next build if it helps you get your mind straight............say $40.00 ?
If it's not a money worry you have then keep level and one day at a time chum.

Well, that just show's what I've long suspected - this forum houses the finest bunch of people this side of the "black stump" (and probably the other side too!) ... the kindness and generosity of the "PBG clan"-members knows no bounds.

Humphrey - you are truly a gentleman and a scholar and set a worthy tone for us all. As you said, should it only be a "fiscal deficit" that's of worry to Brian, then I will certainly follow your lead and (altho' only a bum Uni-student at present) I'm more than happy to "chip in" $20 to help out an aspiring builder who's down on their luck.

Hi all, This has just blown me away. I really appreciate the offers for help, but it's more a recovery time issue. Have to mend some bones after my motorcycle and I parted company this summer. Once I'm back to work things will eventually work out.

I find all the build diary's very inspirational and they keep me looking forward to when I can start doing more then just sitting and healing.

Thank you everyone for the support.
Brian

keep in touch and mend well chum.

Yes Brian we are all thinking of you during this recovery period, keep reading the forum and build diary's and it won't be long till you can start your build. Think of all the knowledge and tips you are getting before the build starts as an advantage. In the meantime put some Stevie Ray on the stereo or watch some live concerts on youtube, I'm a massive SRV fan he makes my top 10 guitarists list without a blink of an eye

Ah, a fellow two-wheeler! I can fully sympathise with your situation Brian ... its never fun having to "step off" the bike (even when its stationary ... though it's a lot less painful when it is! ) but unfortunately its always one of the risks ... they don't call us "temporary Aussies" for nothing!

(for those who haven't experienced it, there's absolutely NOTHING like having your gravel-rash attended to by a nurse with a scrubbing brush and dish of Dettol! 8O ... definitely NOT recommended!)

Anyway, we all hope your recovery is a speedy one and as painless as possible ... an "amber panadol" or two never goes astray.

Looking forward to eventually seeing your build diary posted in the forum here and hope the "iron-horse" isn't too badly worse for wear.

I'm starting to get excited. My better half has been asking me all sorts of questions regarding what kit I want and how to order it etc. This looks like it could be shaping up to be great Christmas.

[wokkaboy]

great news Brian, sounds like you are on the mend and xmas is only 48 sleeps, so fingers crossed you get a shiny new PBG kit for xmas. What model kit did you have in mind ?

[stevierayvannabe]

I'm wanting the lp-1m kit. I have always loved the les paul look. My Jackson is fun but the floating trem and I don't really get along. I am super excited about building a les paul style.

[robin]

That's excellent new Brian. A Jackson and a Les Paul, the beginnings of a nice guitar collection

Keep us informed mate.
