Just wanted to say thank you for recommending Toelar and his guitars to me. I'm now the proud owner of a new three string electric and a diddley bow electro acoustic. Nice guy, as you said, if a bit out of the way for collecting, and great sounding guitars. Thanks again and have a great weekend.
thanks for the comment on the supro guitar..it feels weird playing it, its got a shorter scale than i am used to...think i will use it as a travel guitar mostly, seems like more of a novelty
ever hear a band called the Nighthawks? they did a double allbum with Pinetop perkins and others...think you would like it...Kings and jacks, i think its called....i set it down somewhere and cant fnd it at the moment....only listened to it once..but i think you can find it on youtube
Hi There - Thanks for the welcome. Twerton is cool, I used to live there. Real Bath with a proud community. I now live up the hill in Odd Down where we get blown about by the wind. Building my first Cigar Box Guitar out of parts I have around (I guess technically is an Engineering Gauge Box Guitar as that's what originally came in it). Trying to incorporate some industrial design features into it as a nod to this. Six strings because I have a nice bolt on neck that needs to be used. I'll post some pictures soon. All the Best, Robin
Hey man, nice to meet you - thanks for the friend request.

Thanks for the 'friend' request; accepted with pleasure! What I thought has come true in that, since I got the cbg I haven't picked up the Tele! Such a great sound and obviously much easier to coax out a recognisable tune. Also bought a couple of slides so having a go with those too. Will keep you posted with progress. All the best to you and everyone on CBG for 2016.
Ah, I should have thought of the glass. I see it collected here too.
Thanks for the kind words. Do you have a CBG? If you were here I would hand one over to you. I need to thin the herd a bit. But shipping overseas is not any fun!
This video is the unboxing and the demonstration of a beautiful, six stringer built by Louie Lamanna. Join Louie and I June 15 at the second annual Pittsburg...

Thanks for the comment, Blue. James Burton also played dobro on the intro to Mama Tried.

Yep, getting by , Shaun. Lousy cold virus that took time to shift, as well as dealing with other health things. Ta for asking :)
Thank you Bristol!

Thanks for the comments,as for the lyrics, you can't see them when you're playing, should have put the map on the top
Thanks for the comments...you might like some of this I did ages ago..its a bit ropey..but sure was fun, I now need to do my 3rd album...https://407bug.bandcamp.com/album/hoboing-my-way-back-home
Alfred kind of dates me but those who know him, love him!
I think we should lock all the candidates in a room with one electric cattle prod. The one left standing winds! (But that's just me.)
Hey man, nice to meet you - thanks for the friend request.
Thanks for the friend request.
Hello and nice to meet you!
Yes, I've done the customs and shipping a few times and told myself I don't want to do that again!
