    A bit like the weather here in Brighton then! You've done a nice job Richey!

    Antonio - thanks bro! Yep I put that bridge there just for you :-) sapele is an African hardwood, similar to mahogany but not endangered. It's good to use for fretboards as the grain patterns can be very attractive.
    ...and it wasn't foggy, that's what Manchester looks like all the time!
    LOL, john :-)
