    Finally got off my arse and finished this one.

    Mick Brierley has totally excelled himself with this set of Crossley spec pickups, the clarity is ****ing awesome.

    Beautiful guitar. Looks comfortable to play. That neck almost looks like it wouldn't need a truss rod. Love the grain-matching backplates.

            I hope you keep it up. You have a real gift. I was starting a guitar building business with a professional carpenter, then his “girlfriend” murdered him.

                I have no doubt. She was no wife, they were only together for a few months. This guy had been alone for some time, had just recovered from throat cancer so didn’t have the heighest standards beyond not being alone and this putrid excuse for a person manipulated him, got with him for nothing more than his money and drugged his food and drinks with morphine.

                I had a bad feeling when I couldn’t get ahold of him and she would rudely shoo me and other concerned friends away, claim he was sick without letting us see him. She did not get away with it. He was a good man. He took me out in his boat to scatter my Dad’s ashes and she took his life all for nothing. There’s news articles all about it.

                That sumptuous looking guitar you’ve made there is the kind of thing I would love to have made with him. I am nowhere near ready to pull off something like that on my own.

                        Yep, the whole guitar is nice but the inlays and back panels really scream out to me top notch.

                          Beautiful. And I too, am amazed by the matching on those back panels. Great job.

                            Yeah, I don't understand using screws at all on nice wood back panels like that. Magnets are where its at.
