Re: Jansen 6/sixteen demo

If it goes to anyone else then shipping costs are yours. 20240527_161239.jpg Ooh thanks muchly, I will take if that’...

Would have thought it was R22?
Likewise, R8 appears to ensure there is always a load on the OT.
Oh yes maybe R8, I have vague recollections of it being 220 something something ohms :rofl:

Fretboard edges 'rolled'. Love the new feeling of this neck...
Amazing what 2 gram material removal can do!
