    So Gav is the mahogany body a tele or strat shape? Why don't you have a crack at a scratch body?
    Don't stress I'm there to start a scratch neck for my jazzy

    Its a tele shaped body, but going to have to route the pickups to add the Humbucker and middle single coil. safest to get the body at this stage so that DB knows what he is working to is standard otherwise the neck might not fit the body I produce!

    I'm reminded of a Baritone that hangs on a certain Telenappers wall and the fading words of "if you can pry it from my cold dead hands"....

    This one is a test run, Gav.
    I am making yours out of a really tasty chunk of Flamed Rock Maple...

    You will be amazed to know that the Baritone is now back in my possession!

    wow so did you get the Baritele back after recording the new PBG welcome video ?

    I bet Ads had his back turned so you ran out with it and stashed it in the car ?

    After seeing your Saw Hero video DB I'm not surprised you got away with it !
