Very beautiful! Do you know if that is that Coula edulus or Goncalo Alves or something else?

Dont' think it's what's usually called Snakewood (piratinera guianensis).
piratinera guianensis image below:

Whoa! Stuning! Never seen anything like that! But it does look a lot like piratinera guianensis though I thought that wood's figure was of a smaller scale.

Cool guitar, Andy!
Meanwhile, my new guitar pickup comes with a hum, it'll have to go to a technician, I reckon.

I can't wait unti there are affordable super-laptops with the processing power to replace bulky hardware. You can rig up a desktop computer to do some formidable effects... but you always have that processing "roof" on your work. Like the digital modular systems... they're amazing, affordable and often free, but having a limited amount of cables you can hook up takes the fun out of modular synthesis. When your average laptop computer is 16+ gb of ram, 3+ ghz stock, with advanced cooling technology, then I'm sure alot of hardware equipment will be replaced. It's only a matter of time before computers can rival analog equipment in latency and sound quality. |

It is, and having bought it in Blighty, taking it back to the shop may have to wait awhile. Luckily, I work at a vocational school where they also teach electronics - I actually teach the electronics students English!

Aren't they tiger claws gripping around the fret board, I wonder? 
Dang! Every time I look at this guitar it becomes madder and cooler

Oh yes, Santa Clause was very very good to me. I received a $1,000 patent royalty check which enabled me to buy a Mac mini computer. This system, with software that I have identified, will enable me to do all kinds of stuff on electro-music radio. This includes live interviews, washing machine shows, special effects, ChucK programs, DAWs, VSTs, whatever all stitched together with Jack OSX.
With this system there will be a single A/D conversion at my microphone and a single D/A conversion at the listener's ears, with everything in between through net and server etc. being pure digital quality. This is going to be so dang cool!

Good trades for a Buchla 222e and a 285e.
Also received an Appendage kit. (only the resistors stuffed, so far)

Awesome!!!! 
and enjoy the Mac too... |
Thanks! I also bought a pair of wireless headphones with Mic (Logitech) which work really great! They are comfy and go 6 hours on a charge. Built in volume control and on/off switch. The only problem so far is that the Mac mini will not boot properly with the wireless USB adapter plugged into it. It stalls, so I have to remove the adapter and put it back in for the Mac mini to boot. This is a problem that I am willing to put up with, but it kind of sucks. Oh well - if that's all I have to complain about then I don't have complaints!
