    He hasn't been out since Christmas 2019 😬

    Is that what they call a 'Status Update'?

    Well done, looks good. Back in the 80s someone could have made a fortune selling black ash guitars 🙂 I wrapped my Hohner B2 in 'carbon fibre vinyl'. Shall we say it 'looks good from a distance'? Mind you it wasn't an expensive experiment, and reversible. I found so many tutorials online but noting that really explained how to do 'sharp corners' like those on your explorer. Any tips?

    Know we know what the 'P' in P-Bone stands for. It's even the colour of red leicester.

    No one usurps the DoI...

    This is actually, literally, true 🙂 Almost.

    First gig for my second band postponed from the 17th to '2022'. Good news is at least three additional gigs lined up. Other band has gigs booked for Saturday and New Year's Eve. I'm not holding my breath...

    I've made a start, but (1) my rhythm guitar is appalling from lack of practice and (2) I feel self-conscious trying to sing with my dad around making teh vocals sound weedy as anything... 😞

    I wondered how many roadies were crushed to death by one.

    I bet Peter Griffin doesn't believe in you, either.

    My workshop is in a container. I now have a date for moving it into its new home.

    My bro says, "my what a lovely shape, shame you haven't got one".

    For my Tele I went for pur tung oil, which dries really slowly. In the end I have used 'restoration wax' (clone of renaissance wax) to give a satin finish. Can't put it together properly until I dig out and set up my decent soldering station.

    Just been playing my Jag SS. Oh, it is so sweet 🙂

    He's got the six-string version and is already pushing me... Luckily I'm too far away to try it, although looking at some work in Suffolk in the new year if it doesn't sell...

    If my brother saw this, he'd make me buy it. He 's an LP Junior addict.

    What age defines 'vintage'? I'm guessing '86 doesn't count?
  19. Stub Mandrel
    I've used 90s and 100s. They encourage a delicate touch but I tend towards 105s or even 110s most of the time.

    Have you tried winding the mid-control down? I thought it gives a fair representation, if not perfect. Personally, I use my 'classic' TE combo with the pre-shape switched out or playing at the dusty end is mostly inaudible.

    Did you sneak a dose of black in first?
  23. Stub Mandrel
    That's enough pthalic symbols, Ed.
  24. Stub Mandrel
    Sounds good.
  25. Stub Mandrel
    Why am I not surprised? 🤣
