Hi Michael,

How do you want to play it fingering the notes or with a slide. If it's just a slide draw 'em on. That way you get to play a lot quicker...

Cheers

Kenny

Hi

Come from Noosaville on the Sunshine Coast. In real life was a Vet in Logan City. Just started building a couple of CBG. my only other building project was as an owner builder of a house on Lamb Island. Major decision at the moment is weather to have a fret board or just fret straight into the neck timber (Tassie Oak) Hope to see you all.

I bought some resonator cones from Mike Lowe, but was too scared to use them on my first resonator build....so I stole the cats bowl.

I've always admired that old burnt look Mike has on some of his guitars, so I thought I'd experiment with the finish on my first resonator.

Finish was obtained by using the brush cleaning turps after I had used Chassis black on my custom HQ Holden.

Built 3 guitars in a week.

I think that's pretty goods for a geriatric from Tasmania!
