Forgive me Father, for I have sinned 😳🙄

A sneak preview of the stunning top, and a test fitting of the control cavity plate and string ferrule block:

Come to Hive Rooms in Horley then. They have two in each room. 😎

They have a coat stand in each room, as well as a couple of guitar wall hangers. Will suggest the whiteboard - good call!

Awesome feedback - cheers Neil! I’ll pass it on

Make a week of it 🤣

You need to come to this one then. It’s run by a bunch of musicians who know what we all would like in a studio, and my best mate is kinda iOS manager and keeps a very tight ship with respect to cleanliness and tidiness!

Forgot about them 🤣

For example, keep it simpler and just get a selection of rounds and flats from (for example) La Bella and be done with it .

No probably not, but I thought I’d help and see if there was a general vibe. If there isn’t then so be it!

Long story short, some friends own and run a brand new rehearsal/recording studio complex in Surrey. They’re soon opening phase two which includes a big live room for touring bands to do tour rehearsals and also a shop with a solid selection of strings etc. So if you were after strings and they had a decent stock, what would you expect to see? I appreciate the poll may be a bit restrictive so fire away with your thoughts below as well

Exactly who I was about to mention

A neck and fingerboard! Love the figuring on the board and on the headstock veneer. V classy.

Phil did some gluing of top and neck to body. Then he did some fettling to the neck join. It’s looking rather fine I think:

Glorious! Welcome to the ACG club. Most of us find that one is the start of a love affair and we need more... 😇

Not sure you’re being clear there, are you saying it’s worse? 😜

Zoot Funkmeister ACG Finn Conway Instruments Taranis. There are build diaries for all of them in the relevant place, the Zoot is almost done and I reckon the Taranis is probably 2 months off roughly

Two were completely paid off last year, one i still have to make a final payment

I’m still in, have done lots of window shopping for nothing in particular. But I do have three basses being built all of which were commissioned last year so I don’t really need any excuses to buy anything as they’ll start appearing at various points in the next few months...

I played one briefly one guitarguitar last month. It was OK. That’s about all I can say 🤣

Nice! (Except the overhang 🤓😜)

Yes!

My son has the Volca Beats drum machine, it’s pretty cool. Will have to check this out!

Sorted!
