Ever since I bought my first guitar in 1968 when I was just 16, bought it from Melb music centre above Brashes in Melb, I've been very carefool how I handle guitars, be they mine or anyone elses. I haven't broken one. Guess now based on all the above I need to stop being anal about stuff, and start bashing the crap out of them.. ;P

    haha, at least I know I could do that one! Practice make perfect. And it wouldn't fail at that point again...

    Damn, son's had a change of plans and won't be away for 3 months now so have to take his shit back to him.

    But in the interim I've straightened the neck on one of his acoustics and re-adjusted the pick ups on his Eagle ii.

    I was going to fix his Cort, but he took that to QLD.
    But while he was home this arvo, he has reported to me that the Cheapy acoustic I fixed the neck on now plays better than his Cort.

    GO FIGURE.... LOL maybe the old man does know what he's talkin about.

    @Stan, I've been on the lookout for a fixer. I shied away from the Framus Jazz body http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Vintage-1.../251890805822? on fleace bay as it misght be too tough a call to find a neck that fits.

    Hey PK, sure I could whip up a neck for it.. Could even just do the basics and leave the final shaping etc for you to finish...
    PM me if you are interested.
