Poor man's tenor guitars. Home mades and Reclaims.

Left to Right:

Home made big box.

66 Silvertone 6 string wreck reclaimed as a tenor.

Pot lid home made tenor.

No remaining maker mark. Came to me less machine heads, saddle and nut.

Same story.

Thanks, Dave.  Don't let yourself get too cocky.

Beautiful Roster there Rooster. I like every one.

Thanks, Bjorn.  I have spare lids in the shop.

Pot lids never go out of style! 5 times style together!

Thanks, Jim, Gary and 126.   Pot lid is getting played this weekend at some arts event in a nearby town.

Great collection, UJ

Nice vintage-looking group! (I really like the looks and sound of big box cbg's.)

Comment by Uncle John on April 27, 2016 at 10:21am

Good, Alan.  2 finger chords is about all I know on mando and they let me do about 2 dozen songs.

Yes sir, AGP.  Rich men can play the blues.  No doubt about it. 

But poor men feel em' a bit more.
