I repaired a window frame like that once!

To be fair to the bloke, he is quite open about it all in his blurb. I was expecting a load of bullsh1t in his write-up, but I was pleasantly surprised.

Doesn't seem such a bad idea, since SG neck joints are notoriously weak. Adding some screws and a pseudo-Fender-style neck plate probably does no harm.

I'd pretend I was backing Tina Turner in the Thunderdome, too, probably.

Post by: MrBump on July 20, 2011, 08:55:47 AM: That chunk of metal at the back might be good for attaching it to a wall hanger..?
