Thanks Sebastiaan, Here's the best pic i could find, it's from when i first made it, i had to modify it a bit but the principle doesn't change, if you got springs, it sure helps keeping it all tight! :lol: http://www.mcguitars.com.au/phpBB2/userpix/10_DCP_0935_2.jpg http://www.mcguitars.com.au/phpBB...

Hi Allen, i'm happy to hear that it went rather well for you with the blanket, i bought mine when i was building guitar no 2 and never regretted it, i use 3 x 150 watts bulbs along with the blanket and love how the bending machine gets warm quickly, it sure makes the bending process much easier. You...

I have used 2 sets of perzels and love them, i'm about to use a 3rd set here, i must agree that they are slightly heavier than waverly's but as Ron said, i think it depends on what kind of shape you build and what type of response and sustain you aim at. I love the waverly's on my Heshtone, they are...
