Very neat set-up, Dave.

This is my take on the magnet truss cover scenario.




cheers, Stu

Welcome to the forum Michael.

Nice bit of building there too, mate.
Time for me to go back into the workshop now. I've got something to assemble for a certain bloke. Any guesses, Michael ?



cheers, Stu

Hey Martin, just think how many back and side sets that $400 could have got you.

Pffft..........fancy wasting your money on good tools.


cheers, Stu

Sanding sealer , from my practical experience is a complete waste of money and use when your clear coats will do everything the sealer is supposed to do, but doesn't cloud or milk up. I spoke to the Mirotone rep. in Melbourne and grilled him a little about my intended method of refinishing and he ag...

Looks like it's not for the faint -hearted.
Credit goes to you for going for it and knowing it'll be a very long
but fruitful journey.

I'd like to see you attempt to smuggle that onto the rigs, Martin !!!!


cheers, Stu

What's on my bench at present ?................... A five metre long KD f17 tassie oak workbench . That's what !!! Cost me a heap for the timbers even with trade discount but guaranteed not to bloody move. :wink: Now I've gotta move the most important appliance in the workshop to another corner. (Th...

Thanks Lillian and family. I take no responsibility for drool stains on carpet or any electrical goods. Just remember incessant drooling leads to dehydration. I tend to do bursts by mixing colour into a 50:50 mix of nitro and solvent. No real secret to it either apart from using LMII powdered anilin...

Gee, I never thought I'd say this but 'it's a real honour to be banned from the forum' :lol: Thanks for looking it over fellas. Nick, the truss-rod cover is something I do on quite a few of my builds with a corresponding piece to slot into the truss slot. I also incorporate a very small magnet onto ...

This one got picked up last weekend, so time to show all. :hmmmm 25.5 " scale Neck through construction Makore neck/ chambered body with binding between body and top cap. Faux binding to top.

Contra to popular opinion, I think it might be Matt(hew) Man.
Na-na na-na na-na na-na Na-na na-na na-na na Mattmaaaaann !!!!

Nice work with the zipper.


cheers, Stu

So we're now in countdown mode for this one now. 5 more sleeps. :wink: Is anyone else going along on the Saturday ? I'm catching up with Tim Spittle whilst there and hope to catch a few more of you fellow ANZLFers. Looking forward to seeing some stunning builds and meeting up with a few people along...

Thanks for posting in depth pics and explanations , Nick.
Loving this stuff.

I'm glued to my seat............no.. literally !!!!!! Bloody C.A.


cheers, Stu

This intonation correction method is called 'fretwave'.

It's been around for a while but hasn't yet really taken off like
the Buzz Feiten system has.


cheers ,Stu

Everyone's got great awe-inspiring builds on the go. Bastards !!!! This is me to date. The Quilt maple/makore neck through carvetop is getting delivered next week and the neck through Qld walnut hollowed tele is half way through the refinishing and will be delivered in 6 weeks time. http://www.anzlf...

I use this method. Works well and is simple.

Hank, at least you didn't release the 'chocolate hostages'.

The funds went in yesterday, Allen. No hurry on my stuff either.


Cheers, Stu

Welcome to the forum Cash. (Johnny?) I build customised electrics from scratch so my knowledge doesn't extend to buying pre-made and putting together partsocasters. Having said that, I can provide a few more links for you in conjunction with the others Sebastiaan and Nick have given. (If you're afte...

Thanks for thew heads-up.

I've got enough rods at present to get me through, so
I'm in no hurry for a split order, Allen.

Excellent Jack .

I'm planning dropping on by and having a look over the course of the weekend.
Can't wait


cheers, Stu

Ditto


cheers, Stu

Hmmm...........

A thin layed-up veneered sheet of CF would change your dynamics too
much and you'd be back in no-tone-land again.

I'm sure that book covering contact self adhesive stuff comes in
faux Carbon-Fibre patterns. he he.
