Handmade Music Factory - the ideal Christmas present - reserve your copy now!!!

The Godfather is making you an offer you can't refuse!!  You may be aware of Mike Orr & Shane Speal's book "Handmade Music Factory" which was recently published. It's the ideal Christmas present for any fan of cigar box guitars and home-grown handmade instruments....drop some broad hints to your nearest and dearest, or just treat yourself!

 

It's normally $22.95 plus $12.95 postage from the USA, which works out at £25.50. I am presently taking orders for this fantastic publication at the great price of just £14.99 plus £2.75 post and pack for UK  residents, which is a massive 30% saving on the US import price. The very first UK delivery is expected late November/early December, so just right for Christmas. Drop me a message to reserve your copy, and I'll invoice you when they are ready to go out to you - payment by PayPal, bank transfer or steam powered cheque or postal order.

 

From the rank beginner to  the hardened pro builder, this book is a great source of ideas and inspiration - guitars, stompbox, diddley bow, washtub bass, amps, wiring and loads more, plus a useful appendix section that includes plans, template and fret spacings. It's beautifully laid out and presented, with stunning photos and some very useful and clear "how to do it" step-by-step photo sequences. 160 pages, full colour, softback. This publication definitely belongs on the bookshelf of everyone who has an interest in cigarbox guitars.
