Thanks Uncle John. I'm glad that you like it and your kind words mean more to me than I know how to express  A masterpiece? Wow. Thanks so much. Merry Christmas to you and yours too Uncle John. :o)

I really think that is a masterpiece.   And man, does it sound big time good.  One cone pair of strings.  Nicely played too.  Merry Christmas to you, Dani and the big tri-cone.

Thanks Jeff. Yes, Wade's pickup really did a whole magic act by giving the guitar the lungs it deserves. I'd definitely recommend him, and wholeheartedly do, if someone is looking for a vintage sounding goldfoil pickup. Great sound. Thanks again Jeff. :o)

Thanks Buggy. I appreciate that. The cones are 6" tricone sets that I bought on eBay as they were end of line left overs. 2 sets for under £25 (about $35?) meant I couldn't say no. Thanks again for your kind words my good man. :o)

Thanks Jim. Coming from a seasoned and highly accomplished builder as yourself I take that as a huge compliment and with big thanks. I'm really  really happy with how it turned out. Thanks again. :o)
