I've said it before and I'll say it again - oh bugger!

Some bands take their names from a line in a book, but in Reel Funk Inc's case we'd thought of the name first. This didn't hold us back. Instead we invented a book, and then I wrote an excerpt from said book,

Yes, the headstock is finally finished. The sanding and polishing was completed tonight, the guitar has been re-assembled and I fully expect the nuts and files to arrive tomorrow.

I've started adding pictures to the web site from the extensive Bisset archive.

I started this project to celebrate my 50th year and do something definitive with all those years of experience. Then it became obvious that I needed to explain what exactly that experience was.

I bought my nuts and files from Warmoth in the States, who previously supplied the body, neck and bridge for my guitar.

I've added a couple more coats of cellulose after the rubbing and levelling a few days ago, just to make sure I don't cut through when it comes to the final smoothing and polishing.

So, the project will mean writing, recording and publishing songs...

The question remains, how do I distribute the material without some shifty bastard coming along and ripping me off?

Writing the bio has been educational, not to say traumatic.

Rather than the usual method of using decals on the headstock of the guitar, I used a 'rubdown' - which is the same technology that Letraset originally built their fortune on.
