That looks awesome Wez. It's come together so well. I love the way you've done the neck joint, and that aged hardware suits the overall look of the thing brilliantly.

Waoh! If that beauty plays as well as it looks,it will be the queen of...The neck-view from behind is superb...Congrats to you,Wez!

apparently it plays well - i am getting less able to tell as any skill i once had on guitar slowly disappears.

the action is nice and low but still buzz free , sounds amazing when anyone who isnt me plays it!!

Wez, simply put, you are an 'unstoppable force' (someone please get the reference, please...

). More importantly, that guitar is an unstoppable force. I bet if you put that in front of a train it would make the train crash and wipe out because of the guitar's intrinsic awesomeness (i strongly suggest that you don't try that :D).

I have to say that all Wez's guitars play really nicely. The fanned fret LP is amazing, once you've got over the look, it is really easy to play. The frets seem to fall to your hand shape in all positions. It has a great sound too. The Spalted Top guitar sounds great (I was playing through Wez's Little Rock), and again the feel is aweaome. Whoever gets it will ge really happy.

Well it's an Agent Steel album from 1986, but you're not that old are you, Mr _9?

And for those wondering, the kitchen is rather woody - a nice mix of maple cupboards and wenge worktops - well not solid wood but i really dont have time to be handmaking cabinets as well!! Tap tone isnt as good but thats ok

Ooh, nice kitchen! :D

I've been sorting mine out today - not putting in new units, but chucking out mountains of plastic bags and deciding it's finally time to get rid of my beer bottle collection...

havnt even got the oven i ordered in yet, thats coming tuesday hopefully. I had a major attack of OAS and went for something far too fancy for a tiny terraced house but i like cooking so its all good - i only just stopped short of buying a huge range with the excuse that i would cook christmas dinner.

This has been my biggest bout of DIY so far - if you look at the two pillars in the pic you can see we have extended the kitchen and it makes a huge difference. Now we have cupboard space and room for a fridge freezer - frozen food for the first time in 6 years.... i didnt know how much i missed it till now!!

PS. i am dragging this of topic a bit but why not since everyone commented on the floor when i was trying to show a guitar :P

You need a place to feed the guitars.

Nice kitchen mate. Hopefully you'll be making coffee for me in it soon...
