John, Cheers for the advice on adding a fretboard to a guitar mate ... I just finished No2 and it looks good ...!! I put a few snaps on and a quick video.
Hey boss hope you are well just checked back with the hgmc page and found that my name still is'nt on the members page, who should I get in touch with?
Sorry about the confusion, I was that person, who required the Red Box Guitar, glad to know its fine and well.
What process would you like for me to take to pay I can send a cheque no problem. I will at the same time pay for two memberships if that is also possible, I spoke to the Treasurer who stated it may be better if I send the memberships to yourself.
Youre going to have to let me know when your in either the Tunns or the Station next ...!! I'll be there for certain. I work away in Oxford so only get home every 2nd week. I'm hooked big time on the CBGs now, so book me in lol
