Thanks Pick always good to hear from you hope your well ... The Red Dot Box is the donation for the blues festival in Feb next year I got jasper the help do all the major work while my hand started to heal I think he did a grand job .
Thanks Cobba at least this #25 didn’t end up kinderling for the fire .... Using the stepped through neck has got this guit rock solid I’m guessing the extra timber is giving the deep tones .
Nice Lookin' Build in front of an impressive background "Mr Bones", I'm a big fan of the Bolt & Nut Bridge & Nut and the Rivet String Ferrules on the Tailpiece, & I agree with Unc's comment on the placement of the Vol & Tone Knobs, my Ham Fisted Mitts and Flailing style would be bumping the bejeezus out of them, so I usually put them on the top side of the box :-)
Cheers John i find the control knobs are good there Jasper was playing it last night and had no problem with them. The other RedDot build is my donation guitar for the Blues Festival comming up in February .thanks you notice I cleaned my bench now time to mess it up again with #26 .
Gees, Bones. I have a narrow focus. Now I see all the cool background stuff and the CLEAN work bench. I especially like the brown and Victory builds. Great pic.
Up in the 9s for me, Bonesy. The only deterrent I see is that I might be bumping the controls with my sloppy play. But it's cool to have the controls and there was no better place to put them.
