MESSAGE TO SEOs AND WEBSITE IMPROVERS:
I fully appreciate your need to get some business. However i am fully aware of all the errors on this site (running the same analyses), also know how to repair them - only lack the time and the need. So save yourselves the effort.
GENERAL:
I re-restarted the AI exercises. Doing on the fly image recognition with the PI zero is a bit too much for the little device. Although i now bought Google Coral TPU which would give the PI3 Tensorflow capabilities, will get a PI3 or 4 soon, exciting
I found a way to write a tiny ANN in C++ for Arduino which can control an OTTO robot (funny thingies). That works. See the ai.html page.
The guitar building books on Amazon Kindle as eBook
My books are also available on Amazon Kindle for half the price of a hardcopy book, more if you take transport in to account (shipping is rather expensive, to say the least). The big difference is the printing cost of colour paperbacks. Ebook pixels are basically for free. Have a look.
Basically my books are about constructing and setting up Partscasters (or frankies), building from scratch is another game.

About Guitars Recycled
Guitars Recycled happened more or less by accident.
After managing IT departments for a long time I retired in 2004 and decided to enjoy myself building guitars from cannibalised components you can find on the net.
In the process I made many notes on Strats, Teles and PBasses. So i decided to dump these into a series of small books, (hopefully) useful to other first time builders.
I wrote the books; 3 in english and 3 in dutch and started selling them with modest success - wont make me rich but its fun as well.
After a while and lots of questions from customers i decided to start doing workshops where we build and setup a guitar of choice in about four hours.
