Oh *that* BR549! ;-)
Dave King, I love that whole album.
Fender3, Is that how you got your handle here, when the fender fell off? Thanks for brightening my day, both of you.
At the time I created the handle, Hee Haw may still have been on the air (for the yougsters "on the air" is how we used to say "live steaming"). At the time I had three Fender guitars. I used to say that I had a pickup with fenders, and a Fender with pickups. I don't think that joke works in Australia. Not that it it worked all that well here either...
Thanks for a good suggestion, Phrozin.
Horses are shedding and the lawn needs mowing and this project should have been finished weeks ago. It's now getting a few coats of wipe-on poly. I am following a Canadian dude named Brad Angove. He suggests applying the first couple of coats of wipe-on, gently, with 1500 grit sandpaper. Idea is that the sandpaper creates a small amount of fine, colored sawdust which serves to fill in tiny imperfections. I'll let you know.
