I had a finish issue with my first 1605, which was sorted with a replacement, but I sometimes found the bodies a bit small. Probably all nonsense and a fair dash of ennui/GAS played its part. To be fair, I was also wooed back to 4 stringers by the company that sometimes can’t be named. Ah, ‘twas ever thus.

I fail to see your point 😂😎

Ah, the 1205 in all its understated elegance. I wish I’d bought one of these now, rather than being seduced by the bling of the 1605. Maybe I’d still own an Ibby if I had. Hey ho.

Some seriously talented builders here who are more than happy to share their expertise with others.

This sounds horrifyingly familiar - childhood flashback time. Right, I’m off to hide from the bullies.

I think it’s called Craftman’s these days, it comes in a yellow tin. I originally got it to remove the nitro lacquer from the neck of my Roadworn P (I don’t get on with fairly new nitro, it’s often too sticky) IIRC and, as the paint was starting to wear (and be sticky) on the SUB, both got the treatment. I resealed with Danish Oil (2 or 3 coats, knocked back with wire wool each time).

Just neck. I didn’t mind the body, mine was white and I added a tort p/g; all good.

I stripped my old one with Nitromors Pro and very fine grade wire wool, I was quite straight forward IIRC.

By a quick search for my introduction post, it looks like: 15 pre BC (is that B.BC?), 8ish years and 9 post, 12 years, which means that, despite the GASeous nature of BC, I've been more circumspect since joining. Hmm, something's wrong.
