Progress

I started this project to celebrate my 50th year and do something definitive with all those years of experience. Then it became obvious that I needed to explain what exactly that experience was. And so I wrote a couple of…

I bought my nuts and files from Warmoth in the States, who previously supplied the body, neck and bridge for my guitar. I’ve been watching the progress of my package across the world via the UPS site which is very…
