Waterslide decals. Managed to get them on 99% bubble free. Should be virtually invisible under a few coats of clear.

Made a Telecaster for a mate. It's got G and B palm benders (which are awesome!) and Fralin pickups. Tele style P90 for the bridge and a wide range humbucker in the neck. The body is butcher block! Staggered tuners to avoid a string tree to help the benders work better. Sounds awesome. The palm benders work incredibly well and are so much fun to play with!

Have a bunch of leftover 20mm strandfloor so thought I might slap one of these together.

Legend has it that this is what Mesa based their Thiele cabinets on. I'm not in a hurry to learn theile calculations myself so I'm going to believe the hype and send it (heard these boxes work really well).

......and if it doesnt work, I'll have enough panels left to build a lil open back....

Replaced my Artist Apricus6 stock humbuckers to Artec Filtertrons.

The stock humbuckers were okay but a bit boring. These cheap Filtertrons sound better to me - more chime, less mud, better looking too. I was worried that they wouldn't fit my mounting rings but they did. It was my first time swapping out pickups - a lot easier than I thought.
