NGD - And its electrifying!

The spruce top and burst finish is creamy.

Yeah, I'd say so! And very tight grained (although I doubt that matters much in an electric). A beauty! Major congrats!

Beautiful Nightbird, HM! That's one on my list, too, but I hope to score a black one someday.

That book by Dave Hunter is excellent. I read that one a while back, and you've inspired me to pick up my copy and have at it again.

Wow, the top and finish in this one is just lovely. Congrats on the new Fiddle.

One soldering tip: Solder itself conducts heat much better than the tip of the soldering iron alone, so drip a bit of solder on the tip of the iron and it’ll help you heat the back of the Pot much faster. For the lugs and switch, they heat up really fast. Don’t overheat. I’ve made that mistake.

Cheers!

One way to safeguard from ruining components by overheating is to use a simple alligator clip as a heat sink.
