"Thanks Doug"
Wowser on the sound hole pyrographics Alan! Bringing your A game.
Thanks, AGP. Okay. I will stay all day.
"Thanks UJ", As I recall you've been a Fan of Big Box Builds for some years now, Manzer Guitars are Canadian Master Luthiers, a Husband and Wife Team (I think?), the concept behind the Wedge Design is probably best described in the accompanying Pic.
I used to buy those Screw Cup Washers, both 4g and 6g sizes from my local Hardware store, but supplies of stock were erratic, so have recently been ordering them off Ebay.
Yes you can buy Mix & Match Beer Packs down here, usually from our largest Liquor Outlet Franchise "Dan Murphy's", (owned by Woolworths), but these days I nearly always drink my fave Brew, "Fourex (XXXX) Bitter.
I like the idea of teleporting you down here to sample my many AGP Gits, BUT!, it may take a bit more than half a day ;-D
Good looking big box geetar. I don't know what a Manzer is, but I like this build. I used to be able to get those wood screws with washer like things attached. They were useful. I wish you would get that teleporter working and teleport me down there spend half a day sampling AGP gits. Do you have mix and match Beer six packs down there? I will buy us one. We have some stores with big varieties of beer that let a person pick a variety to sample. Fun!
You are very welcome, AGP!
"Thank You Jonathan" :-)
Looks awesome!
