Folks,realise we players are a funny lot when it comes to trying and buying new things,but wanted to do a quick review of the guitar tech box 2.....Not associated in any way to the company,bought this with my own money as I was fed up of making do with blue peter,let's cobble something together out of toilet roll tubes improvisations,which whilst usually ok could have been better Not going to rave but enough to say that I have been thoroughly impressed with the work stand.Comes in a very high quality box,fits together snugly,adjusts properly to different heights and above all has proved very sturdy and rock free.everything I wanted delivered..I use it for the usual cleaning duties,maintenance,string changes and would recommend to anyone with an acoustic or electric . Not for everyone,but if you are looking then you have my vote.

Hi folks...A few more pics from Ted The kerfing being prepared and glued into position.Ted uses reversed kerfing but adds his own twist by notching the back too.He told me this makes it very easy to bend and work with And one of the completed rim Take it easy everyone Scott

This one shows the bending of an inner side for lamination to the Brazilian Rosewood sides.Ted will complete the rest when he comes back to work and start on the body....cant wait This is part of an email from Ted...I use mahogany for the inner side lamination. The reason for mahogany is: It's light weight and when you look inside the guitar it matches the heel block, neck block and linings ( the linings are ceder thou, to give that lovely smell for all of the sound hole sniffers), an extra added feature That's it for now Hope you all have a great festive season.Be safe Cheers to all
