Thank you Ambrose! I keep a log on all my builds and have been going through them one at a time, fixing little niggling "squawks" that either have been with the guitar since the build or have happened along the way, About once a year, I give the wood a coat of linseed oil and wipe the whole guitar down real good, tighten loose screws, whatever needs to be done.
I plan on doing a little video on it when I get some batteries for the camera.
It's good to see that you look back to your early builds and relate the story behind them. It's great to see that you are giving this one a refurbish. Looking forward to seeing the end result.
