    Words fail me. I mean... how are the farts authenticated? That's more a job for wetware than for software... Linkage or it isn't real and the search for The Brown Note continues. White could work out well though. I'm exited to see how @caitlin's kit build turns out if she stays with her idea of a white finish.

    Since the headstock is currently shaped in a Fenderesque sort of style I'd love to see something graphic and original there. Please note that I do not necessarily mean vulgar, when I say graphic, although I do not discount the notion. I agree with the colours you suggest having seen the primed body but equally, it could have been green primer and I'd still have gone - Oo!

    Now it's getting interesting. You've taken the Dingwall idea of having the fret that is perpendicular to the fretboard at the seventh position. If I recall, @Andyjr1515 has it at the twelfth in one of his builds. Perhaps the most comfortable position for the perpendicular fret would depend on which end of the neck you frequent most...?

    It's reminiscent of coach painting. When you see how good a hand finish can be you wonder why folk don't insist on it. Granted, no-one wants adverts hand-painted on coaches or buses in the 21st century but there is still a place for the craftsman in the right setting. Agreed. "Top work"

    Harsh for these times, don't you think? Maybe it's just me.

    You should be okay with that. Using wax is a very good idea. It might be worth deciding if you have confidence in the screws supplied with the kit however. A close visual inspection should tell you if the threads are cut cleanly and the heads are free from deformities that would cause the tooling to slip or the heads to shear off. Often the screws are the weak link in an inexpensive kit. I replaced a lot of mine with stainless steel ones.

    The pilot drill size should be no greater than the core size of the screw but as close to it as you can get.

    I've done the Pitbull SR kit myself. The IB5. The build thread is here, in case my sig file and links aren't displayed on your device. I made a rebate template, just like you have, but from half inch MDF. I then clamped it to the back of the body at a slight angle and it was flexible enough to follow the body curve to a degree. Luckily it worked well. The specific part about that is here. Try a dry fit first. It might be flexible enough.

    Good man! It's one of the reassuring things to see our postie still doing the rounds.

    You might find this an interesting read. I don't think for a minute that they are the only ones doing this either. Channel 4 investigation catches Hermes couriers sending customers' 'missing' packages straight to AUCTIONEERS to sell despite being labelled with correct addresses

    I'm hip to it.

    Okay, so it's in compression rather than tension but what is it actually bearing against? Is there a shoulder? I mean, you have to access the end of the rod with whatever adjustment tool it requires...

    ...and tickle.

    I bet it's great for slap...

    Where do you put the battery?

    How does the rod exert a force on the neck though? I imagine it to be secured at one end and that the bit you turn acts like tightening a bolt... I've never actually seen the end secured however. Is there a little tee slot or something?

    I bet Superman is afraid of that. It's SO green, it's like green Kryptonite. I like everything about it except the headstock.
  21. SpondonBassed
    Absolutely. You'd have to pick the right moovement for the performance.
