Please post or PM me if you want to come, otherwise it is going to be hard to organise if all 20 forum members that were apparently interested all show. I can organise, just not at the last minute.
The plan is to give a presentation first and then have a mix of demonstration and diy under supervision. If you want to go for the latter, bring your own guitar. Demoes will be done by Andy on guitars he provides. You can of course watch while others stuff up their guitars (or look in jealousy how others transform their buzzing guits into singing superaxes). We can work in different groups on different work stations but there is a limit to the space.
