#1 resource for Cigar Box Guitars, Free Plans, How-To, Parts & More!

Yellow

Playing my yellow Black Cat Bone geetar from my friend, Andries Eker. Wearing a Maddog shirt - maybe my fave summer tee, and using a Dave Lynas slide.

Note on the shirt, that is a big crawdad, AKA crayfish. Some people asked Maddog why he had a lobster on the shirts! He changed the design after that. I like this old style the best.

I am in need of downsizing. Gifting gits and going to strip down two for parts. Two that never were quite right. The BCB git is a good one and I am a bit sad to see it go. But it is going to a good home, to Dave Lynas.

Comment by Uncle John on September 21, 2018 at 2:05am: Thanks, Alan. Nope, I have been eating like a hog with thumbs.

Comment by AGP # on September 20, 2018 at 12:21pm: Colourful Combo 'UJ', you're looking "Trim Taut & Terrific" in this shot, is it an old Photo from your youth??, or have you shed a few lbs?? :-D

Comment by Uncle John on September 20, 2018 at 12:03pm: That's crawdaddy contamination, Dave.

Almost, Jerry. I am kind of a plain old fart without some summer time color.

Comment by Brown Water Jerry (Rice) on September 20, 2018 at 9:48am: Does it glow in the dark?

Comment by Dave Lynas on September 20, 2018 at 8:27am: You might be pickin up a little radiation Uncle. There’s a glow about you. Lobster contamination methinks.

Comment by Dave Lynas on September 20, 2018 at 8:23am: Thanks Uncle John. I’ll be pickin a Guitar by the Dutch Master!

Comment by Uncle John on September 20, 2018 at 7:16am: Fair warning, Brian.

Comment by BrianQ. on September 20, 2018 at 5:38am: I can see ya comin’ from a mile away :D
