Yep! A.D., the building will continue, as I still have heaps of ideas, materials, pickups and hardware on hand, it looks like its going to be another hot one down here today, so will solve the problem as I did yesterday, by spending time in the Pool, and replacing all those lost fluids with plenty of "Ice Cold Amber Ale" at the end of the day. :-)
Dont stop on my account ! keep em comming, but maybee your wallet is screeming BM ! stay cool have a brewsky ! sip some on the porch and let some cool breeze flow in ,(or ventilotor) and strut some stuff down there ! Good on you Alan ! will be on the lookout ! light gauge strangely enough usaly work the best ,i tended to go thick aswell to get the bassy sound i like so much ,but in fact you get more twang whit lighter gauge ! indeed ! cant wait to get that overhere ,its only 4 above zero !
"Thanks A.D.", I just stuck the Vol Tone & Jack where they fitted, and yep!, I am a lucky EB (ex bricklayer), despite the fact that today, its hellish Hot & Humid in Gods Country, the Strings are the Lightest Gauge I've ever used on a Baritone Build, but they do sound pretty damn good, I'm not sure if it will happen or not, but I'm going to try and slow down building for a while, and concentrate on putting some Videos up, of how all these latest creations sound. :-)
