I used 207 (Hardener) and 105 (Resin). Unfortunately this stuff isn't cheap and the smallest containers are relatively huge, compared to the few tablespoons required in epoxying a guitar. I don't know if it has an expiry date, but I've used the same cans for about 3 years now.

A couple of videos of my friend having a go with this guitar. Frankly, I find it easier to record someone else playing than me playing, plus he's a much better player than I, so hopefully you can get a sense of the guitar's range. Maybe I'll give it a shot sometime too, but with a better microphone. The mic on the iPad isn't as good as I'd hoped. It sounds muffled.
Anyway - what do ya think?
A little Zeppelin

Wow Dave, you made a real winner there. Sounds great, well balanced, great intonation, sweet sounds.
