Show us your number one stringed instrument. The one you would choose if you could have only one. You can put more than one in the photo, but put number one on the left.

I can play the big box tenor on the left in any key, plugged or unplugged.   Center is my fave guitar, but not as versatile a player in open G.    For plugged in, nothing else makes me sound as good as the swampy.

Bill that looks just beautiful.   Good on ya.

The work of not just a good craftsman... a great designer - it's strikingly good looking. Cheers!

Wow! That's a pip Bill.
How do i post pics

ive changed my mind. This.

I keep thinking my next guitar is going to be my best one, I can make it better, I can get string spacing perfect for me, let's have 4 strings, the scale length should be bla bla bla...

Wrong! Perhaps I might build something better, perhaps not. Right now my building has slowed pace due to fiscal difficulty's and I've been looking up the things and strumming them.

This one, sounds great, has its little rattles and quirks, feels good and most importantly has no real value for me to protect.. It's the one in my hands most often. It's the one that I'm learning CBG playing on the most. It's the workhorse that feeds my playing and learning. 

This is the one right now that is the most rewarding, musically.

I also named it after a wizard. It might be voodoo! 

I like that a lot.

Really cool build. Nice idea with the headstock.

Yeah it was a test run. This one went a teeny huge bit wonky and I had to make the hole bigger, much bigger than expected. But I learned from it and got it right next time.

Hi All,

I do like the red lap steel, looks great, as does the grey CBG the basic clean lines I like.

Taff

Me too.  But maybe that is the pot calling the kettle black!   What a fun instrument.

thanx..$3 find at local flea mkt and a couple of hrs work..
