They've not appeared yet - I'll let you know when they do. Could you pop me the tracking number in case the Royal Fail has sent them to Crewe instead?

Ill pm you

[Sporky_McGuffin]

Ta!

I wonder if they got stuck to the side of the van and they've not managed to wrench the package away yet?

Poor driver had a pacemaker ... probably brown bread in a lay-by somewhere

Mr UPS just delivered my neck ...





From Warmoth, it's one piece Indian Rosewood, 10"-16" compound radius, standard thin profile. And it feels ... oooooo ... it just feels wonderful.



Now I just need to build the body to do it justice ...

[Sporky_McGuffin]

Oh my - that's a saucy neck!

[TTony]

A quick mocky-uppy of how it might look if I do what I'm thinking of doing ...


A light blonde finish over the Ash body. The rosewood neck. And one of Mr Weasel's finest with black hardware.

Not to mention a scratchplate. Oops. I mentioned it.

A wudtone light blonde finish is under consideration. But not "paint".

and a neck pickup!

No. Useless on a Tele.

Not to mention a scratchplate. Oops. I mentioned it.

Explain why I'd want to hide a lovely piece of natural wood with a beautiful grain ... Whose beauty is enhanced with some lovingly applied stain ...


With a piece of cheap black plastic???


I should also tease you with the detail that each of the pots will be push-push.
