This is ment as a compliment, your guitars make me sick. I can do is simple crude builds but I like simple. I can't afford your guitars I just drool over them LOL.
Actually, I was just trying to do the Mark Bolin "whisper singing" thing because everyone was asleep when I recorded it. It's still very rough. Dunno what I'm going to do with the drums, yet.

Ha... coincidentally, I had two cbgs with me last night: the Black and Tan and my old beat-to-shit. Both were unique and had specific songs delegated.
I laughed when I realized that I stuck my burning cigarette in the strings at the headstock of the Black and Tan. "Josh would kill me!" I thought. That beautiful guitar is starting to smell like beer and smoke...as it should be.

had the Black and Tan out for a gig last night. It was heavenly.

Smokehouse Guitars has partnered up with Boutique Guitar Resource to bring my guitars more into the public awareness (and hopefully get the public to buy them).
Boutique Guitar Resource is an online blog and guitar vendor for unique and rare custom guitars. I'm rather excited to be included in the roll call.
Read about my in an interview at the site or just order a guitar!
1. It looks like I'm going to be in my local paper (maybe). I've been contacted by a reporter who wants to meet this week for an interview for my guitars. Yay me!
2. I just finished a guitar for this guy named Dennis Casey. He's in this group called Flogging Molly. I didn't even realize who the guy was until half way through the build. Stupid me. Pretty cool, though.

Thanks, Shane and everyone else. The cool thing about these cones is that the biscuit rest is level with the box lid, so you can use whatever your standard practice is for determining bridge and saddle thickness, fingerboard height, and neck angle,…
i'm still staring at the Lowecone i purchased. I'm thinking of sinkin' the sucker in an old gas can for an all metal-bodied dobro sound.
As usual, your build is frackin' phenomenal. I had the Black and Tan out at the bar last week for some intense…
