I have many assorted sizes of plated rings that make nice soundholes for CBG's. They range in o.d. of 2",3",1 3/4, i.d 2", 1", 13/16.Many pieces ready to trade for parts

Joker,

yea, it really is.... I doubt that I can do it justice, but I'll be recording a cover of "For What It's Worth" next week that's part Buffalo Springfield, part Willie Nelson, part Wichita Sam and part willardj. I have never, ever figured out who's more important the instrument maker or the musician.... maybe that's why I like playing other peoples' creations... to spread the blame....

But seriously, last year when willardj and I traded a Wichita Sam StrumBox for some willardj art, I told him that I thought works of art were like cats... you never really own them, they just let you take care of them for a while.... How much more a musical instrument that's also a work of art?

I'm one lucky guy....

Sam
