It's not all guitars
Here are some shots of the recent Butokukai Fellowship Trust seminar in Bideford organised by Steve McNeil of Rōsei Ryū Jūjutsu (formerly Combat Jujitsu Ryu)
Great times and really interesting sessions

On the bench for a setup today. A Guild Starfire Jet 90. A stylish and versatile budget semi hollow.
Three P90s and 6 way switching! Ideal! I love a p90

Here's what's on the bench today.
A barncaster, a hobbyists take on a T-Style - I dunno, you decide.
Definitely a Curates Egg this one. In for a full overhaul and upgrade where necessary.
Headstock needs re-gluing
Industrial piece of metal for the pick guard 2.0mm + thick ( I like the look though)
Great frets, good ball ends, nice job.
Did you see the neck? Three pieces, looks like maple & mahogany. How about the scarf joint on to a 5 piece headstock? Wowsers, some effort there.
Strange ferrule arrangements on the back of the tidy, one piece ash body.
Electronics are mixed; CTS, Orange Drop and Oak Grimsby matched with some cheap ceramic pickups.

I have some ideas on this one, nothing too wild. What do you guys think?
Comment and let me know 😃
