New build parts are just starting to roll in.

What's Hot
"Can you guess what it is yet?" said in a completely non-Australian accent...

There are also a few cans of nitro in my cupboard ready for this one as well. So I have started another build to counteract the waiting for nitro on my Jazzmaster re-fin. However I just realised now I'll be waiting even longer for the new one to be ready.

So hopefully by July(ish) I'll have a couple of guitars ready for playing.

    I'm going 'pickup shopping' for it very soon as well.

    Then all I need is a couple of pots and a capacitor, plus a hell of a lot of patience when waiting for it to dry!

    Neck arrived.

    Bought from D-Lux guitars. Its a quarter sawn 'Black guard' neck and pre aged. Came with tuners, string tree and bone nut. So has a lovely worn in feel.

    I believe he uses Musikcraft necks as the basis for his stuff.

    Either way the fella was real nice to deal with and very fast at turning around the order itself. More importantly though he was great at answering all my questions before any money had been spent and gave me lots of options. So was pleasant doing business with him.

    Please tell me this isn't going to be an abomination-master  aka Telemaster :-P
    The Bigsby was the first successful design of what is now called a whammy bar or tremolo arm, although vibrato is the technically correct term for the musical effect it produces. In standard usage, tremolo is a rapid fluctuation of the volume of a note, while vibrato is a fluctuation in pitch. The origin of this nonstandard usage of the term by electric guitarists is attributed to Leo Fender, who also used the term “vibrato” to refer to what is really a tremolo effect.
