Hi Stu, when are you going to build with them Blackhearted Sasafrass drop tops.
Cheers Bob

Hmm, you read minds as well eh ?

Stay tuned for a singlecut sass droptop build, among other things Bob.

A couple of birds-eye maple necks.................................

Nice. What have you got planned for that blackwood (??) body?

Cheers,

No caps or chambering, Peter. This blackwood body is extremely lightweight, perfect for a solid body build, and worthy of a little colour too.
Both of these birdseye necks are geared towards simplicity and I'll carry this through with the bodies as well. (i.e. no binding or extras)
A definite case of less is more.

I agree. Sometimes with guitars less is more. That is a nifty way of glueing on fretboards. Killing two birds with one stone.... I guess.

Cheers,

Peter

That is a sweet build man. The finish you get on those builds of yours is inspirational.

I was just about to order on eof those gotoh 510 bridges. I was wondering your thoughts on it?

I look forward to more.
Cheers,
