"Thanks again for the comments Wes! I got the tubing at a local hobby shop that specializes in model plane building. It was only $3-$4 for a 3 foot piece as I recall. I only used 3-4 inches so far. Take care."

Wonderful! Cheaper than buying pop rivets and using the sleeves. I have a couple of sources locally for these tubes. Thanks.

Tom

Thanks for initiating a great thread. I'm really enjoying all the mini bios.

I like the woodburning on your guitars; excellent detail. On your homemade amp did you just gut an existing amp or purchase separate components to build it?

Sorry to hear about the Chap11. Wow. Bummer. Also the pup I mentioned in the post to Kevin is not one that I would definitely recommend. Its ok, and complete with the knobs, wires and jack but it was cheap ($) and also cheap (-5 quality), so you can use it, its better than a piezo to me, but I wouldn't expect Fender quality ;-) The pots are not good either but they do work. I'll wind up replacing them sooner or later. If you have some better ones around, use them.

Oh and thanks for the word on the headstock. I did a lot of work researching a good design and thought that was fitting of the box. Scarfed joint too. I love those. I've seen a lot of builders lately doing it lately and its really becoming more common. In fact, I'm reworking my Oliva box neck/headstock and think it will be much better.

Tom, just learned from you forum post that you are in prepress. I did that here in the Carolinas for 13 years on mechanicals and Macs.

What'ta world eh?

Cheers!
