Hi Ted and thanks! Your Dad is a great guy. I hope you both had a great time at Lowebow! And I hope you can help me with a project. Bud asked me for a CBG and I'm a bit stuck on the design. I'd like to make something that will have some personal meaning to him, but when I asked him what he'd like he said, "Just build whatever you want."
What sort of hobbies or interests does he have? I was thinking about a card players theme (using card suits for the fret markers, for instance) but I don't have much beyond that. I want to finish it for his birthday so I need to get on the stick with it. Any advice you can give would be great.
We are going to meet up real soon! Im in Orlando let me know when you want to meet up and shoot some shit. My Cigar Box Radio show is starting today at 4pm link on my page tune in and check it out.

Thanks it was a fast build.
You've got some great builds. Similar tastes to my own aesthetically speaking.
thanks for the add too. :)
we like to listen to Cramps while shearing sheep and women.
