    That's lovely. Nice work.

    I'm most partial to the quilted one, but they both look very nice.
    Do you find any sonic differences between them?

    Really great looking build. I'm a big fan of gold hardware in any case, but this is top notch

    Gents, thank you for your very flattering comments, makes the work worth while.
    I am motivated to put it in July's GOTM.

    McCreed, in answer to your question, they are both similar sonically even though they have different pickups
    installed as the set supplied with No 2 were not wired for switching.
    If I was pushed I would say that No 2 has a better overall sound.
    It certainly plays better as I spent more time on the neck and frets than I did on No 1 which I need to re-visit.

    It has been a fun few months doing these two builds and I have learnt a lot along the way.
    This (they) was going to be my last build.........hmmmm
    Regards, Fatboy.

    For me that usually means I have learnt what not to do!

    Haha, agree with that....I made a lot of mistakes on No 1 which I did not repeat on No 2.
    Thankfully the mistakes I did make on No 2 were not the same as those on No 1 !
    Cheers, FB.
