smilingdog1 said… Hello Ice Bob,
I've reactivated my interest in building guitars, writing and recording. Video recording is still a bit awkward. Soon, I'll up load a song or two, sharing my builds and music interest. Definitely a great site to see an extremely diverse collection of styles here on the Nation.

Harvey Thompson said… Nice Lowebow!! I think Richard's is similar. I noticed yours seems to have both the middle and bottom strings on the 3-string rod go across/above two pickups. On mine (Macanudo) only the middle string crosses TWO pickups. The top & bottom strings only cross one pickup. So the middle RINGS OUT louder than others. I put some elect tape on it at nut to dampen it down.

Thanks for the insights. (No, not replied to earlier.) I think John is free of the tyranny of having to play in "keys". :-) I asked several times what tunings those strings could handle and he just said, "If you break a string, try a smaller one." I found D & E very "slack" with the strings he sent. Currently up on "G" and no sign of stress on necks. I measured distance to strings & will watch (along with tuner) for bowing. I added fret markers at 3, 5, 7 & 9 for blues, using black elect tape and gold automobile pinstripe mylar. Looks like "cigar bands." (Its been suggested we need a "Lowebow Group".)

I have several CBGs, including a favorite built by Fuzzy, but I'm really looking forward to delivery next week of a 30" Macanudu from John Lowe. Anticipating the fun & challenge of playing it. Enjoyed your photos. Do let me know if there is any group sharing tips on tunings, etc. Regards!
