le D'aventure du Frankus: March 2008
http://fr4nkus.blogspot.com/2008_03_01_archive.html
Le D'aventure du Frankus. IT, Music and Guitar musings. sometimes all three at the same time. Wednesday, March 26, 2008. Race day 3 - Waiting. So I've collected the guitar. sanded it mostly and found the body is a composite and rather weird. 2 parts dark heavy wood and 1 part soft wood. the soft wood on the bass side away from the cavities. Guitar based Bakelite discussion. Doesn't look like Bakelite is an option, a real shame .as it's authentic but heavy. It's made from tortoise shells though :S. We're ...

http://fr4nkus.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Le D'aventure du Frankus. IT, Music and Guitar musings. sometimes all three at the same time. Friday, August 17, 2012. I love Rothwell's Hot Little Knob. It's an awesome knob for adding meat to a strat. I bought one and installed it in my Suhr and then bombarded Andrew Rothwell with questions regarding how it would work with the Suhr's dummy coil. After a lot of schematics whizzing about and a fair bit of head scratching it was decided it didn't. I took it apart and copied the trace, struggled to grok wh...
