    Going to look good Euroa. But I wish you guys would stop showing off these semi-acoustic hollow bodied guitars, they look sooo good.

    Viva Las Vegas!

    I added some fountain pen ink to colourtone cherry red to get the darker colour on my J Bass as also found the cherry on it's own was too pale and washed out looking.

    Thanks waz, I just read your post about the ink, I used colourtone cherry red on this and it was way too pale. I bought the cherry for a custom job I did and mixed it with mahogany came out looking like redgum which is what he wanted, but I might have to try the fountain ink!

    I think that often pick ups suffer from what I call Harley Syndrome, where 75% of the price is for the name.

    Remember that the reason Gold Foils fell out of favour is that they were notoriously noisy and microphonic. I know guys like Jason Lollar seem to have fixed this now, but who knows what sort of construction the GFS ones have. They are the guys who put ST style pickups in a P90 case and didn't tell anyone that is what they were getting. (Dream 90s)

    must be the month for it, WD Music in the US sent me 1/2 a bridge, they did a stock take and found they had 1/2 a bridge too many so it's on its way.Click image for larger version.
