Looks good, love the sound holes!
Hi guys I have now bought a practice amp and was wondering if it would be al-right to donate the picture to the cbg event later on in the year for selling or may by raffle, what do you think chicken bone Mal
Blimey Mal...raffle prizes are always welcome, thanks ..it's along way off, but I'll try and remember that.

Hi John I am afraid that cbg is the last one I will be making as my emphysema has got the better of me but my son will be making my guitars for me.  I am hoping in a couple of months time he will make me a resonator cbg,my question is do you think you will have the cone covers by them as I will want a pair.No rush as at the moment he is making me one from an unberleverble shiny  black coheba box just ordered gold and black machine heads for it,can't wait.

I am glad you managed to finish number 2 Mal.  Sorry to hear your lungs are playing up - maybe with the better weather coming you might manage a project over summer and if not you can sit back and enjoy playing number 1 and 2.

 

Regards,

David

i hope my second one looks as good, just started on 5 necks, i don't have a good workspace so doing a 'production line'

 

 

means i'll have  5 ways to shape head stocks etc, also i have an idea (2 actually) for a reverb/resonator .  resonerb.. revonator
