Due to a couple of different problems with the web store I've now uploaded everything to good old eBay.... http://search.ebay.co.uk/_W0QQfgtpZ1QQfrpp...theQ5ffretboard

For those of you looking for wood in the UK I now have a web store online at... EDIT: See post below I currently have Ash, Sapele and Korina body blanks for sale, all being well I'll be stocking a wider range of wood over the coming weeks/months. Payment is via Paypal, all items are sent out with DHL 3-5 service. If you have any questions please send me a PM Please Note: I'll be on holiday from September 13th-17th, so I will be unable to post items or respond to e-mails/pm's until I get back. Any items brought while I'm away will be sent out as soon as I return.

Yep, the first I do when I get in the workshop is put some music on. I tend to listen to quite mellow stuff when I'm working (I save the Metal for when I'm out on the bike). I've become obsessed with Jackson Browne lately, I can easily play his live acoustic album over & over all day without getting sick of it... oh and Newton Faulkner's debut album has been blasting out my speakers a lot over the last couple of weeks too.

Sold

There's some really nice guitars this month, it was close but in the end my vote went to Jammy

I'm afraid not.... although I wouldn't mind a 12 string acoustic though, if anyone fancies a part ex

I brought this from ebay at the beginning of the year to use as a 2nd stage guitar, but as I've now left my band I've decided to sell it on. It's an Ibanez SZ320, fitted with EMG 81/85 pickups, mahogany set neck (25.1" scale), mahogany body with carved maple top (not a thin veneer). Apart from very slight buckle rash on the rear it's in great condition as you can see from the pictures. The only bad point is the bridge, as the plating on the bridge post and 1st saddle has worn off and rusted slightly, the chrome coating has also worn off the top area of the plastic pickup ring... I can only guess that the previous owner must of had extremely sweaty hands! I've taken a close up so you can see it clearly. I thought I'd advertise it on here and UKGB before listing in on ebay. £200 inc postage (UK mainland fully insured), Paypal only. http://usera.imagecave.com/Simo/sz2.JPG http://usera.imagecave.com/Simo/sz3.JPG http://usera.imagecave.com/Simo/sz4.JPG http://usera.imagecave.com/Simo/sz5.JPG

EMG 81 in the bridge, EMG 85 in the neck, 2 volume pots, no tone, 3 way toggle.

Jinx me why don't you The holes for the Hipshot Ultralite's were drilled this afternoon, still need to sort out what I'm doing for a logo.

Sold, pending payment I'll have some full size Korina blanks available shortly

I have 2 pieces of Korina (Idigbo) for sale, might be useful for wings for a neck-thru (with a top) maybe?, they're 37mm thick, 5 3/4" wide and 19 3/4" long. £15 including postage! Paypal preferred Pics... http://usera.imagecave.com/Simo/limwings.JPG

Frets are in at last!

+1 Great band, I can't say I've been blown away by the last 2 albums (Systematic Chaos is slowly growing on me), although Train of Thought takes a lot of beating for me personally.

I have 2 more sets that I'll be planing later this week, they're from the same board as the one above so they're the same width (7") and 21" long (might even be longer). I'll be planing them down to 1 3/4"...unless you want them cut to a different thickness, that's no problem either. £40 if you want one, or £70 for two sets.

The Sapele has sold, although I will have a couple more for sale later this week if anyone's interested. The Ash is still up for grabs.

Sapele Body Blank: 25" long, 7" wide, 1 3/4" thick. £40 inc postage SOLD Pics... http://usera.imagecave.com/Simo/sap1.JPG http://usera.imagecave.com/Simo/sap2.JPG Ash Body Blank: 25" long, 8" wide, 1 3/4" thick. £30 inc postage Pics... http://usera.imagecave.com/Simo/ash1.JPG http://usera.imagecave.com/Simo/ash2.JPG I'd prefer payment by Paypal, sorry but I'll only post to the UK. They'll be on ebay in a couple of days, so don't miss out

Sold

Luckily I seem to be ok with wood dust, which is a big relief! although I try and avoid mdf, etc as much as possible. As for the nut... I was going to use Graphite but I'm thinking about making my own from Ebony now.

Thanks Will Only a quick update I'm afraid... work is more or less finished on the neck shaping, I'll be doing the fret work later this week.

Thanks Setch!...it's 25.5

I brought this from Stew Mac a few months back but I ended up not using it. It's a nice dark piece, only slight issue with it is that they've done a crap job of trimming the end, as you'll see from the 2nd pic it's pretty close to the last fret slot, so it might be an issue if you're need all 24 frets, although that chip in the corner should easily be outside the width of your neck. Dimensions: 2-3/8" x 19-3/8" x 15/64" Radius: 12" Fret slots: 24 + Fender-style 1/8" nut slot £12.50 inc postage (Paypal preferred) Close up... http://usera.imagecave.com/Simnett/ebboard2.JPG

Slash is the one who got me in to playing guitar in the first place, and although I can't say I'm a huge fan of VR he's still number 1 in my book. Followed by... (in no order) Brian May, Dimebag, Hendrix, Adrian Smith, Tony Iommi, Richie Blackmore.... I could go on for hours

There are some free Explorer cad plans at... http://www.guitarbuild.com

You should try out an Atomic... http://www.atomicamps.com

Sad to hear that you're packin' it in, I've always been very happy with the wood I've brought from you in the past and the customer service was top notch too. Good luck with the job hunting mate
