Ha! No Andries, no gang affiliation here. No family band yet but I'm working on it. I think I'm going to take my uke building to the next level... can in a box in another box. lol
Wasn't reading into as much as listening into.I always love yer perspective...CBG conspiracy part was just in jest .Cheers,ma man.Hope yer day is a groove. Play on.
Thanks Andries. I haven't wound any pickups yet. This one is from MGB guitars and parts. It's thin like a Elmar pup. I don't think I will ever wind any. I have plenty to amuse myself with. Leave the pups to the big dogs. Greets friend.
Hey Andries. I'm a product of an era where guitar players were super heroes. Never got to be a great player, but I learned a lot about guitars. I think the ones I build are decent enough and I've built lots of them.
That looks great AD good luck mate ,I haven't any time to build a new one so I'm entering 2 I've made this winter season ,putting a piezo in my second entry now making up a knob to suit it'd thyme .always having fun .
Yes Andries, a bit of a break from building in an attempt to slow down a bit, just rearranged my work & storage sheds, so I should be able to store another 100 or so future builds. :-D
Hey Andries. Thanks for the nice note. Yes, I fire twice first a bisque firing to harden the clay and burn out organic material from the clay. Then I glaze and fire to cone 10. That's about 2,300 degrees f. Frost is upon us so garden and orchard cleanup is next. Howdy from old Duluth.
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...
