Just done some wiring while it dries. I had a couple of caps and one full size audio pot hanging around so I bought 3 more pots.

The doctor prescribed me some antibiotics that were the same shape and near enough the same size as rugby balls. I CAN'T SWALLOW A TEASPOON OF WATER, HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO SWALLOW THAT?!
They also prescribed the strongest painkillers i have ever taken...which made my eyes roll to the back of my head within minutes. I pretty much slept the week away.
Great progress with the guitar - enjoying the thread muchly.
After 4 days of very little nutrition I got a bunch of mouth ulcers which just made it all worse!
And then when I did start eating again - oh the constipation!
Anyway, back tinkering with guitars again now...

I had a nightmare trying to get the black paint smooth on the headstock, but in the end I've embraced the 'relic' aspect of the enterprise as it's a bit rough!
I have enjoyed this thread a lot.
As the guitar has been out of action so long, I kind of forgot how good sounding they are and I started daydreaming about buying replacements.
BUT I've strung it up and plugged it in today and they really do sound fine.
So I might just get some replacement axesrus nickel PAF covers so that I can get rid of the horrid logo.
I want to gig it for the first time on Sunday so it will stay as it is for a short while at least.
I went for 50s wiring which I'd never tried before and I think I'm a convert.

You get to play one of the greatest guitar solos of all time every night ("Can't Buy Me Love").
