Poor man's tenor guitars. Home mades and Reclaims.

Left to Right:

Home made big box.

66 Silvertone 6 string wreck reclaimed as a tenor.

Pot lid home made tenor.

No remaining maker mark. Came to me less machine heads, saddle and nut.

Same story.

Thanks, Bjorn.  I have spare lids in the shop.

Pot lids never go out of style! 5 times style together!

Thanks, Jim, Gary and 126.   Pot lid is getting played this weekend at some arts event in a nearby town.

Great collection, UJ

Nice vintage-looking group! (I really like the looks and sound of big box cbg's.)

Comment by Uncle John on April 27, 2016 at 10:21am

Good, Alan.  2 finger chords is about all I know on mando and they let me do about 2 dozen songs.

Yes sir, AGP.  Rich men can play the blues.  No doubt about it. 

But poor men feel em' a bit more.
