Re: Forums have been slow, how about a 'In the mail' thread?
The Furch arrived today.
Not sure what to think of it, it definitely has the feel of something that's been hung on the shop wall for ages, dry and scratchy. It's rather quiet too but as this is my first OM that might be totally normal.
Is a nice understated looking thing though. Acoustics with bling should go right in the fire.

Oh hell yes, this is their harmonic percolator eh? I built one years ago but always wished I’d got a more gainy tranny for it, interested to hear how this goes! Will you be using it on bass?
How can I be sure I'm here?

OM's and the like do tend to be quite when compared to a big old dread or jumbo. Might get a little louder as it get broken in, too.NippleWrestler wrote: ↑Sun May 26, 2024 8:43 am The Furch arrived today.

That’s the one. It’s destined for guitar but I have at least one other option on the way because I still haven’t QUITE found the tone I’m after. The Tone Bender that Reg built me is perfect for most things, but I just want one that is really more of an “effect”.

Finally found an EH Small Clone for a non-ridiculous price ($110). I've been on the prowl for one of these for a few years but the market went a bit nuts over these for a while.
It's old, crusty, dusty, probably smelly. Should be fun.

Ordered 7m of medium jumbo fretwire from NZ Guitar Parts last Sunday. Got here yesterday. Let the fretting begin
A few side notes:
They now only stock 3 different types of fretwire. Used to be many in the past.
And when comparing prices with Allparts, Stewmac and AP in the USA, (incl shipping), they were considerably lower priced.
I don't like their 25cm cut lengths. When requesting longer lengths, ie, 50cm, they didn't respond.

Agree - 25cm is a silly length. Probably more to be convenient to ship rather than for the customer to useJay wrote: ↑Sat Jul 06, 2024 11:26 am Ordered 7m of medium jumbo fretwire from NZ Guitar Parts last Sunday. Got here yesterday. Let the fretting begin![]()
