My latest build - similar to the last one, but fewer screw-ups and slightly less swearing

Hi Slim - The volume knob is an old bakelite radio or TV knob. The break angle on the bridge has been enough not to get any buzz and the action is pretty good for me, about 4mm at the 12th fret. The string gauges are (I think) 46, 36, 26 - approximately. Cheers for checking my pics out.

Cheers John - Me too! I'm always on the lookout for nice old knobs ;-)

Cheers Wes.
And thanks John - yes, the old Tv tuner knob is fully functional.

That is classic.  Fancy stuff is nice, but lately I really like the back to the roots CBGs.  That old belt makes a nice strap.  Is the knob functional or just cool lookin?
