  • SO cool. I Love the way you repurpose stuff! Well done, bet she sounds great too!

  • "Thanks Uncle John", a bit of a "Mish Mash" experimental build 'UJ', mainly to try a few different ideas 1: on how to achieve a relic/aged type finish (on the box, but couldn't bring myself to do anything on the lovely Merbau neck), and 2: to see how best to use one of the 3 Brass Cymbals I acquired. 

  • "Thanks Rick Alexander", If I can ever get out of the shed and stop building, I will try and post a few Vids on how some of these builds sound.

  • "Tanks wes carl"

  • Hey AGP, that turned out really cool! I really would love to hear it.

  • Well, see, Dave and Wes like it.   On early looks, I did NOT like it.   But I felt a strong urge to try playing it.   Finally, looking at the shot on the left.  I do like it.   It's growing on me.   It's kind the classic headstock, pretty woods, swampwitch/Crazy Aussie feeling. 

    PS: Man, it looks sunny and nice down there.  

  • "Thanks Dave Lynas",

  • "Thanks the anonymous pick" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
