This is NOT A NEW VIDEO, it is just a re-post of my entry to GGBO22 with slightly tweaked audio to make the commentary easier to hear. My apologies for the difficulties in the last one.
So, it's about 30 no-frills minutes of a selection of build process oddments followed by a demo of the finished guitar. Just got to decide what to do with it now... suggestions (polite ones) welcome!
My thanks again to Mak Wolven for the demo at the end.
