Urban NZ doesn't give much of a shit about personal grooming for that matter. I miss the London tailoring.Molly wrote:Naaa. I don't think rural NZ cares much for personal grooming.olegmcnoleg wrote:A geezer like you does not have his own tanning bed??? Surely not...Molly wrote:

Re: Another Strat build project
Did some work on the Strat today. Wired it up and did a first assembly.
Swear by these surgical clamps for holding stuff whilst you solder.
Don't like the colour but impatient to hear it.
Put a blender in it. Sounds great. Can't recall the pickups but they're some US hand-wired, extra cork-sniffy jobbies.

Re: Another Strat build project
are you liking the pickups? BTW they're Vintage Vibe ones - I always forget the name too - and have to search through old emails to find it

Guitar weighs 7.75lbs which is good. Still need to buy a trem. The one in the pic is borrowed from my other Strat just so I could check the spacing and see if it'd need a closer spaced Callaham. Fortunately, regular spacing is fine which opens up other options like Kluson or Fender.
Love the neck.

Cool - I'm always nervous selling you stuff, because you've had so much great gear, i'm worried it won't live up to your expectations

Just turned the Two Rock up nice and loud. Just for a mo. Sounds spiffing. Why can't we play loud all the time?
So far I've $1,350 in it which is spendy for a partscaster but the CS neck wasn't cheap. Still got the trem to pay for.

Surely Christchurch has some kind of hydroponics supply store you could get a Uv lamp from?Molly wrote:Still want to experiment with a sun lamp to see if I can fade it back a bit. Can't bloody find one anywhere.
Colour's not that bad though. All looks damn fine to me but as you know I'm more about ears than eyes when it comes to gats.

LOL. I did get them via Mrs Molly but many years ago. It would've been legitimate means. My Mrs is too honest for her own good.Olderama wrote:Lol there’s a doctor somewhere performing a very important medical procedure going
