Thats half of the first floor. There is another dormer going next to that one on the other side and the downstairs is completely gutted. We never do things by half...

We are camping in our own house.. and we had the frost on the inside this morning.

That's a hell of an extension... hope your builder turns out good and isn't too much of a charlatan!

Ha ha - how did you know we had a hole in the roof? We have a little man coming to fix the flat roof on our extension on Thursday!

Anyway, I got all the problem frets glued down, all the ends dressed back to the binding, then finally leveled, crowned and polished the whole lot!

I just need to do the replacement bone nut now and I've done one of those before so it should be sweet!
A hole in the roof you have is it?...

Wow - are you having any exterior timber detailing? I think your place would suit weathered green oak.

@Bubba - POIDH!

I want to see that genuine vintage Australian kangaroo thigh bone nut blank I sent across the world in situ. I feel like I own about 1% of your guitar now... maybe 2%.

Peace, bro - here it is! You'll notice that the bone yellowing was only superficial - shame, I liked the vintage appearance!

It took me about twelve hours, but I'm feeling very proud of myself right now.

That is a very cool guitar.

That bone will yellow down again in a few years.

Its gonna be be timber clad with black feather edge boarding like most timber frame construction is in these parts. It was part of the planning consent as we live in a conservation area and are surrounded by major listed buildings.

Yeh, he's good. Its a mate of mine and we are doing it together which is why I'm behind on your telecaster loom.

I did the bulk of the wiring on the loom today though and hope to rig up some connectors tomorrow on the pups so you can just plug and go. I'd like to test it first though on my tele test bed just to be sure. We have the plumber and electrician first fix coming in over the next few days so I have some time to devote...

Is the Gobshite name a gold pen on gaffer tape?

No, I cut out the old logo, painted the background black, did the logo in white and varnished it. The varnish has gone very yellow since then! The black colour never married up very well, either.

Good Job Bubbs. I commend your "get at 'er" attitude.

Awesome ~!

I think i need to sit down and give all my guitars a going over / tlc / good set up. I caved and went to the local guitarmonger and i played a few of the new LP Jr Double cuts and man. I think half my problem is that none of my guitars have been given the proper love they deserve to get them back to that beauty playable condition. I want to feel that love again.

May set aside some time and access all of them this afternoon.
