Stone Roses Tribute: Video Diary #4
The fourth instalment of my video build diary for the RC-1 Stone Roses Tribute is now on YouTube. This instalment deals with sanding off the Timbermate (pore filler) and applying the primer to the body.
It's the must watch series of 2014. Ok, maybe not.

Stone Roses Tribute: Video Build Diary #2
The second instalment of my video build diary for the RC-1 Stone Roses Tribute is now on YouTube. This instalment deals with the shaping of the headstock for the Pitbull RC-1.
Not sure my presentation skills are improving. If anything they may have gotten worse ;). Apparently, all my tools are "trusty". Hmm....

Stone Roses Tribute: Video Build Diary #1
Since my Stone Roses Tribute build has been a dream of mine for quite some time, I have decided to make a video build diary over the course of the project! The first installment is now on YouTube and has been added to my brand new YouTube Channel: "Fires Creek Guitars". This first installment deals with the mock-up phase for the Pitbull RC-1 on which the build is based.
It's not as good as it could be, but I'm hoping my presentation chops will improve as the series progresses. In no time I'll have my news-reader voice and patter down to a fine art. Enjoy - if you can! ;).
