Thanks guys.


Thanks for the support Uncle John ... feel much better :-)


Glad you like it Rand, i'll stick some pictures up on my website and here in a couple of weeks... im heading to Ireland for  my Hollybobs. But yeah its fretless with friction peg tuners. This is the third one ive made and considering they are such a basic design they never get easier to make... i find them quite a challenge sometimes.

If you get a copy of Foxfire 3 there are several different versions.

All the best guys :-)

Yup, yup.  I am a Johnny fan.   Maybe your best vocals yet.  Wailing it fine for that kind of song.  Always like your frailing. 

Here's my rating:   U U U U   (four arch supports).
