Rarely a week goes by without me looking at my copy, I have managed to only make 3 or 4 instruments that are directly influenced by pictures in the book which I think shows enormous restraint.( I really want to make 1 of every model)
Pete
Should I get another copy? I am bound to ware this one out before long!
If you think it’s a bit expensive ( which for the work Mark put in ,it is not) then why not order one for your local library? Then you can borrow it for free. Though once you have it I think you will want to hang on to it.

The used one will have much more ‘mojo’, finger marks , coffee stains etc. Think of it like the Road Worn Fender guitars that cost more than new ones, those coffee stains probably took hours to get right. Well worth the extra $200.

I was going to order a copy of this a few months ago, but I got the impression that you had to have a mobile phone number to give DHL, which I don't have, so I backed out.Maybe I got this wrong, and a landline number would suffice - but that wasn't the impression I got. I also notice that the No Tom guitar shop has a few copies for sale. Maybe it would be easier ordering from them, if they don't use DHL?
It looks like a great book, that's for sure.

Dave, it doesn’t have to be a mobile number, any phone number is fine.

Thanks for that info Michael, and sorry it's taken me a while to reply. I'll have another try - while it's still available!
Well...that seemed straight forward enough. I wasn't asked for my phone number when ordering,but I guess that will be asked by DHL at a later date.
Cheers,
Dave

Mine was delivered yesterday. Beautiful - I feel lucky to have got a copy. I'm already tempted to buy a second hand Supro from the 60's.
