It's time to get back to work in the real world. Here is a Mosrite body, almost completely recovered from its brush with water-based polyurethane. Stick with oil-based, water-based is junk.
This one went through a long and torturous build process over almost two years. All I can say is don't believe the "advice" you find on talk_ass. However, in the end, it turned out to be a pretty nice instrument.
Since Gargle keeps track of everything, I like to keep track of them. So I added some 'instrumentation' (code) to the site to keep track of when and where their 'spider' comes snooping through. And I was shocked. Even as I was writing the code, I started collecting hits from Gargle, and quite a few. In fact, they seem to be in here every few minutes !
