You say the nicest things, Frank

Now then, @ped - building the tuner in too is just plain showing off!

Well - that would have to had to have been the one that I stole off Jez and pretended it was one of mine. Unfortunately, no-one believed I could build something this cool nowadays, in spite of past glories I know when I'm beaten (but like a Phoenix.....maybe, just maybe)

OOOOOOooooooooooooh! Lovely!!

Nice job!

And DiMarzio P's are excellent...

Cool logo! Looks good against the grey

The DiMarzio Model One (DP120) is a WONDERFUL pickup. I've fitted them in two builds, Pete's EB-3ish tribute: And @gelfin 's Mouradian-ish: They sounded epic in both. Power of a mudbucker without the mud

Love it!

No hadn't seen this - thanks for the link!

Hope Mrs Zero gets well soon! All the best to both. And yes - I think the poetry's stopped...

For those who were at the talk on experiments with taking weight out, I mentioned an interesting YouTube clip someone's done using a neck-only guitar with detachable identical bodies in various woods. I said I'd post the link, which is here: The first part covers what he has done and how and why and includes the results through a microphone (not an entirely scientific method) but 12min 40sec onwards covers all of the results, one after another, on the DAW (including the wave-forms) - by his admission, still not properly scientific but more relevant. Clearly - and he mentions this - it is still affected by the way he plays the down chord in each case so not infallible, but interesting nonetheless. The relevance to my talk was my own realisation (from my own experiments and off-the-wall projects) that actually, you can get SOME sort of half decent instrument simply by bolting everything to a suitably rigid neck - and that you can then take significant liberties with the body itself (in my case, taking weight out). Clearly, this guy sort of comes to a similar conclusion, albeit from a completely different direction.

No problem - only pulling your leg. A few years ago, in front of my wife and two daughters, I walked up to someone I was meeting for the first time and said, "Hi. My name's Alan...er...no it's not, it's Andy." Wife and daughters have never let me forget it...

Great, great bash. Many thanks to @jebroad for taking this on and sorting it all out And thanks to @jebroad 's delightful mum for all the hard work too! Great to catch up with folks I've met before and folks I met for the first time. What a pleasant, friendly, talented bunch you are

Was there another one doing lightweights? The blighter!!!! Andy By the way, your Fender Performer was simply divine...

@tauzero - save us all! The devil makes work for idle hands - and I think they've got hold of the keys to the asylum!!!! Hope this week has gone well ( @tauzero has had a very busy week ). At some stage if you get a second, let them know what you think and maybe that will spare us from any more poetry or, god forbid, a song!

No harm in having it in your boot. And yes, I fully understand your observation

For reasons that will become clear, I would like to fix an actual time for my 1/2 hr (including questions) spiel on weight reduction for those who want to listen to the drivel. Anyone object to me nabbing a 2.30pm slot?

How many passes of the CNC router do you need to do to to reach that depth? Nice clean cut.

That will be fine

@tauzero picked it up this evening

Yes - exactly that...and just the same as how the master tone connects to the master volume of the original circuit except that, now, each volume pot has its own

Great skill on show

Hopefully these two pictures explain a bit better This is the standard circuit: And - for the volume pots of the stacked pots, this is what the amended circuit is basically doing:

I'll do an annotated pic later this eve just to explain what my assumptions are Andy
