Need pics of that one. Bit special. :-)


Only unpacked the Jackson so far for a sneaky peak. By gum that's a nice guitar! Great, solid-feeling thing. Big neck with thick-as fretboard. The flames are far more subtle than the pics suggested. Think the flash must've brought them out. Pots almost frozen solid. Obviously been in storage for a long time. Not posting any pics until it's minty!

OK. Quick cuppa then Nash time!

Home with sick daughter today. Convenient. :-)

Similar treatment to my daughter's new Strat. Nice bit of daddy-daughter time.

Autosol and a Dremel wheel. I used a flexible extension on the Dremel as I'm worried about anything with a strong magnetic field being too close to pickups. I masked-off the frets with green painters' tape. Mucky, time-consuming business but worth it. Bit of lemon oil on the board itself to finish the job and pick up any polish remnants.

Meguiars cleaner wax works pretty well. Otherwise ultimate compound + your favourite polish + any good carnauba based wax.
