Embarrassing admission....Happy Number 38 guitar to me.

Like Frankie says a lot of us here have dealt with varying degrees of these issues, there's no shame in it, life can be really hard. I'm thankful for how wholesome and supportive this community is. It's a breath of fresh air in an increasingly murky online world.

... this is one by Phil is a good one as he said there's no shame admitting it, well said Phil😎👌

Yes, well said.

I couldn't agree more Phil, its why I do them I'm at 62 I've done, and 7 I'm working on now, I've given up posting them, try sitting in a wheelchair all day can't work anymore because of head injuries apparently I'm now a danger, go figure you got to try to shake off depression I don't let it worry me anymore as I've met people far worse than me I don't post comments this is one by Phil is a good one as he said there's no shame admitting it, well said Phil😎👌

GeeBus Phrozin....62 complete.....and 7 in the works. Much humble bowing here.

Yeah I find it very relaxing....and I play Bass okay....but six string guitar still escapes me.....but I do love a nice Tele.

Sitting in a chair all day would give me the shits like you wouldn't believe. I am glad you have something to keep yourself interested....it is seriously f$%^^& better than many other alternatives. I would love to sit and learn some of the stuff you know about painting.....pity I am in Queensland and you down there in South Oz.

Have you considered typing up a layman's painting guide? I would be seriously keen mate. I have a setup I got from Aldi really cheap ages ago. I have not had the guts to give it a go. I have a compressor, filter, regulator, finishing pot and gun. If you had some insights into using spray cans as well I think many here would love to read them.

I love it here. Great home to escape too.

The body has hung for ages now....and today it got some more wax...and a complete hand buff....no power tools at all.

I like this neck.....it has some amazing grain and figure that looks like dirt in a photo....but is really nice in real life.

The headstock is a maple stain and the fingerboard is golden teak stain.

I have to spray and sand a couple of coats of satin finish polyurethane on the back of the neck and it will be done as well.

You may not have noticed... but your nut is a little wonky. Might want to replace that...

He’s a little sensitive about it.

Lucky you guys are around. I laughed at your comments.....buggers.

Yeah when I removed the plastic nut it broke....I have a Dingo Bass Bone one to go in. So when I was spraying the poly I jammed the biggest bit back in and filled the rest with a wad of paper towel.

So...smart eyes....when it is dry and waxed etc the real one will go in.

I have toiled over wiring issues with this build for weeks now.

Tonight I change out the switch, two other CTS pots, different cap and still very very very low sound electrically.

I am really thinking about taking all things wiring out of the body and starting again. This time without wiring grounding cavities...which is my only new thing.

I will also be scratching the paint away from the pickup screws.

She looks so nice...but is so very very very silent. Painful. Aaaaah.

I wish I was closer and could help, but I'm not and I can't.

So, sending good vibes instead. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
