Re: Need direction for my CS-336 Clone build

Thanks Freeman and Jamie for your guidance, it has given me more of an idea as to what to do next and I am very grateful that you have been here for me. I have been a bit nervous about starting on the neck, but I have to make a start sometime, so here I go, don't go away 'cause I'm sure I'll be back...

Re: Home made wind chimes

If you hold it in one hand and hit the tubes with a stick with the other, then I reckon it's an instrument.

Anyway I am going to have twin volume and tone pots...
