"Thanks Bob (Ambrose)", 2nd 4 Rail Build, still have one more to use, then the high output Humbucker fad should be out of my system, :-D

"Thanks UJ", Yep!, 2 of my favourite things in life, Rock and Pizza, we're going through a cooler more comfortable bit of weather at the moment, accompanied by some much needed rain, the high power humbuckers are a in an league all of their own, they have some good and bad points, the sound and tone on this one didn't quite have the result I was looking for, will probably experiment with some heavier strings and a different tuning.  :-)

"Thanks Denbo", a quick burst of 3 CBG's in q row while the weather has been cooler, which makes working in the Tin Shed a bit more comfortable, and one doesn't need a lot of patience with sanding when using a 36 grit paper in my Makita Belt Sander, I do finish off with a few finer grits, but I can assure you patience is not one of my strong points, and I'm not a slave to sanding, like some other builders.  :-)

That looks handy for playing rock and cooking pizza! Great looker. Still to cold to build for me here. I should quit being such a cheap-ass and try one of those high power humbuckers.
