If its "Your!" favourite 'Bad Finger' I'll bet it does all that you say it does.

A very "Menacing" looking "Beast"  

Here are my main player's John....

(A).Tenor Banjo = me.....I always liked the sound of a Banjo (keeper)

(B) Doggy Dish Reso = me ...   Used on Pioneering the Blues (keeper)

(C) 4 string Reso CBG = Dan Sleep ...  This is my main player, used on most of my songs (Keeper)

(D) 4 string acoustic/electric = me  ...This is my first 4 string build (keeper)

(E) The Reaper = Swamp Witch Guitars ...  This I call my drool slider  (keeper) 

(F) The Long Horn = Me.... This is my signature guitar (keeper)

Can't forget the Stewy Stomper!  (bottom right corner)

Nice bunch, man.   I would like to sample.   But Reeds, you are gonna be in deep chit for writing on the wall like that!

yup 

wwwWWWoooooOOOOwww LOVE RESO MODELS... one place for each on the wall ... you like order and can't change anything... what did your doctor say about that?...hmmmm?... pretty collection Reeds...

...+<[:-) [+++]==={...

"All Cool" especially the ones that count, the "Me" builds.

I forgot too show my first love.....these are my practice harps, their Piedmont by Hohner...also amoungst the bunch are 3 Special 20's....I have a complete set of Marine bands in storage, I use them for quality sound only...and they only come out when I feel the need. Harmonica's here are expensive, so I been buying the Piedmonts in the set for 35.50....where as just one marine band costs just over 65.00 here.

Nice, Reeds.   I like the Hohner midnight blue for around $20.00 from Musicians Friend.   Yup, better

harps are pricey.

There's some really skilled work on here.  While the simplicity of the basic 'stick in a box' may be most inkeeping with the origins of the CBG, I can't help but admire the craftsmanship on show from the some builders, as I can only dream of achieving that myself.

There's a lot of great instruments but I like Captain Nemoff's stuff.  Quality builds, played well.  I especially like his CBGs with the bass strings.  The latest baritone sounds superb, as did the Black Head Killer:

Well said and true, I think, Diggly.  

Yes Great One For Kings O bLUes... hu hu hu my daughter is looking at it......+<[:-) [+++]==={...

2 sweeties.
