You're spot on Jimc. Rob Armstrong just cut the body off (or did he cut everything off the body?) and built a plywood box that JUST fitted inside a cornflakes paket and screwed everything onto that. Simple, eh? Was a rubbish guitar though but the great thing about playing guitar in the same space-time continuum as RT is that no-one is listening to you...... (Not even me)

Happy Christmas everyone BTW

Oh my GAAARD!

You couldn't do something with our Technics digital piano could you Olly? We've always thought it's a bit black and boring in the corner of the living room. An All-Bran theme would be nice.

I think you may indeed be crackers, but well done for making the effort! You must be very proud that all of us talkawhilers now know that sugar puffs are your cereal of choice......
