"I like the look. Simple; elegant. And I like the big bolt off the box at the box; never saw that before. Do you a piezo inside? Just curious where you placed it for the best sound."
jim Kasmir commented on Laurie Lee Campbell's group CBG in CALIFORNIA"In the future, you might consider my hometown of Ventura. Right on the coast and I have access to an 80 seat theater with lights and sound system. Go to the beach by day, jam in the theater at night! :)"

jim Kasmir commented on BeetleJuice!'s group Three string guitars"I too would like to hear how this baby sounds. I was just thinking yesterday about using dowels instead of the usual neck. Are those broomsticks? Are they joined somehow besides clamped together? "
