I think they have a cool classic 50's 60's retro vibe to em. Id buy one for the right price in a heart beat man. Cool git Brian."
Barry Potter commented on the anonymous pick's group Teisco Lovers group."Ohhh. Why why why???????? Mostly I feel confused and sad. My analogy would be if someone came up to me ripped out my soul and then disfigured me. Then hung me on a wall."

gerry parkhurst said… Thanks, Barry. I'm just getting my head around this great new guitar perspective. Have built a dozen or so partscasters (mostly teles, a few strats) and probably will go with a hybrid approach on my cigar box pieces. Very much interested in steampunk style and will be trying to go down that path as well. Really enjoyed the pix of your gear; especially the Esteban amp. Be well and cheers.

michael holder said… i have a aquoustic/ electric guitar wanting to learn how to play now that I am retired but I have been busy with some of my true loves in life, cars and motorcycles. been building a bobber motorcycle the last two months, getting there a little at a time, hope to be in the wind by August. I was cruising the internet and saw a cbg so I decided to go to youtube. I guess you could say it was love at first site so I ordered a cb off of e-bay hope you could give a newbie some info on building. I think I can learn to play a 3 or 4 string cbg easier than my 6 string, oh by the way, I ordered a slide on e-bay also. any info on the build would surely help.
