Raffle3: SC Relics Body **DRAWN**

beed84

Was there a fair warning when the tickets would go on sale? If not, could there be one for next time? Even if people are working during the time the tickets go on sale, I'm sure they could quietly slope off to the toilet or somewhere and pay for them when they're made available.

I couldn't, work internet blocks The Fretboard, however I do inderstand the frustration for those that didn't manage to have a go, perhaps in the future, limit to one ticket per person then open it up later for more if entries are slow?.....although its a rare event anyway......

@TTony Any news on when the draw will happen?.......It feels like I'm checking every few mins!

I'm not in the beef starting business, but to be fair I just checked in, saw it was on and bought a ticket as I have for the others.  TTony is not running a professional lottery organisation and I would hate to think he was feeling like he's getting a load of flack for the way he organised the draw.

What if it causes him anxiety and he shouts at the dogs and they don't pick my ball which has been dipped in beef dripping overnight : )

You know - that's actually why I originally had them picking balls out of a pool of water, just in case someone thought that perhaps a specific number had been made more "attractive" in some way!

But if the ball had been soaked in beef dripping, I don't think that they'd drop it into the bowl once they'd picked it out, quite so easily ...



Draw results for *all* draws to be posted later this afternoon.

Wahoo! 

TTony

Still pi$$ing down out here in East Anglia, so it's going to be an indoor draw ...

TTony

Great prize @lonestar and congrats to the lucky winner! 

I love those dogs even though they done me wrong.

Wow!  That's awesome!

Massive thanks to @lonestar for the tremendous prize, and to @TTony and his lovely dogs for organising it.

Time to get planning...

Huge congrats @Jonathangus !

Congrats to the winner!
Initially I was gutted as I really fancied a build nased round one of the SC bodies, however in retrospect, it would have cost me a small fortune to do it justice.....and I already have too many guitars finished and waiting for arsedness.....
My entry fees went to good causes....

It doesn’t cost as much as you think chap. That’s probably why I’m working a 65 hour week just now!

@lonestar ;;

Actually it does, chap! I've done several......

Assume a Strat...and a quality job....

Neck £120 (Allparts)
Finish  £25 (Can o nitro) possibly 2
Decal £15
Tuners £40 - 60 possibly more
Bridge £30 - plus 
Scratchplate £30
Pickups £180 BK, MOJO, Creamery etc
Switch £25
CTS pots £15
Knobs £10
Wiring/screws etc £10
Neck plate and screws £10
Strap locks £10
 Best case at least £500 to do a decent job that reflects the (hopeful!) quality of the body, or buy a Squier for £80 and recycle the parts onto the new body for a cheap as build, but that IMHO would be pointless....Admittedly I could source used parts and save a few pounds, but I maintain, a good quality Partscaster is a) not cheap and b) worth jack if you sell it on.....and despite all that I will probably build amother...chap!
