Hi, my name is Paul Cardone, my friends call me " doc" ( just a nickname). Been playing guitar most of my life. During my first week of retirement, I came across this guy playing "Can't be Satisfied" on CBG and that did it for me. That was a year ago. I've been building and playing 3 string fretless guitars and building amps from Artec kits ( sure would like to know how to add a gain pot to it ). Had my first show this past weekend and had a blast. Sold 7 guitars and 4 amps. I would have joined the "Nation" sooner but I didn't know how to insert that picture when applying. My daughter showed me how. I live in Glens Falls NY, which is located in the foothills of the Adirondacks.
