          Thank you for the opportunity to share a little of my life on the other side of the world with a bunch of great people.
          I have really enjoyed my time here tonight/today even though I am a little weary at the moment.

          Thanks to everybody for the great questions, what you have done in many cases tonight is make me look at what I am doing, and my principles and reasons for doing it. It really has been an eye opener for myself, and I thank you again for this opportunity.

          I hope you all have a great evening, as I watch the sun come up. Isnt the world a crazy place !!!!

          Cheers
          Pete
          Pete, the thanks is mine, or should I say ours. You've outdone yourself with very thoughtful answers to a litany of disparate questions. And you've done a great job to kick off the Guest Luthier Series.

          You've left a tough act to follow. I'll announce next week's Guest Luthier tomorrow.

          Also, thanks to everyone who posted in this thread and even those who just lurked. I think this kind of dialogue between builders and the public can be very beneficial for both sides.

          I'll keep this thread up in the Guitar Shop for a few days and then Vault it.

              Peter fearing that you won't get to read this until perhaps tomorrow I really wanted to thank you for taking the time (and in my case patience) to open up your soul as well as our minds.

              I always had a great admiration of your work but now that I think I understand you a tiny bit better I start to have admiration for the man behind the work as well...

              My most hear-felt thanks for today Pete as well as Evan and the rest of the SD team!

              Oh, and Pete, sleep tight

                Hello Peter,

                If you're reading this sometime after getting some rest, thank you VERY much. I wired an Antiquity straight to the output jack of my Les Paul like you suggested and it sounded fantastic. All new electronics it will be!

                Thank you again,

                  Peter, Thank you so much for everything. I learned a lot (now I want a G3 in my strat ;-)). Get some rest, you've earned it.

                          AUGH I missed this. Well, I'll just go ahead and ask my (non-live) questions anyways. If they don't get answered before this gets vaulted fair enough.

                          1) You mentioned two big machines you'd like to add. What are they?

                          2) You've worked in a number of scales; do different scales mean different considerations in terms of wood/pickups/anything else? I'm particularly interested in the 24" scale.

                          3) You said you found this place after meeting Seymour and Evan; how'd that end up happening in the first place and how'd it go?

                          Like I said I understand if these don't get answered. Thank you for taking part in this, I am definitely illuminated after reading this thread!

                            good questions, hopefully pete might catch them before the thread's vaulted?

                              1)The Machines would be a large bed table saw and a 20" thicknesser

                              2) No the scale length doesnt require a different timbers or pups, its just a smaller fret spacing.

                              3) Seymour and Evan did a tour of Australia a while back, organised by the distributor of SD pickups. I knew the distributor Steve, and they organised a meet & greet day followed by a jam. Was a good day.

                              Cheers

                                Pete, thanks a lot from the bottom of my heart. To some of these guys, it's just a learning experience. To me, it's looking into the future...
