I began my Thanksgiving celebration this morning by purchasing a Canjo Diddley Bow. As I always do, I scanned the listings -- and there they were: beautiful Red Dogs, Back Porch Mojo's and.......a guy wearing a pig's head holding a "cigar box guitar" bedpan. This marketing approach is lost on me, in fact it works just the opposite: I would never buy anything from a man wearing a pig's head. It's weird. It's creepy. I'm just not that into pigs. It's interesting in a behavorial sort of way, but I'm more curious about the photographer -- is it his wife, partner, child, best friend or mother? Did no one think to say, "Dude, don't wear the pig's head this time. It's bad enough you're selling a bedpan."

The bedpan guitar is advertised as "sanitized." Whew! I really wanted it before that had happened.

I agree with you, Sam. I don't get it either, but I like the wording.

I'm with you on the Clapton stuff. I saw him fairly recently in DC and was not impressed with his performance. As noted here, he seemed very disconnected from what he was doing. I still like a good bit of his music, but his performance was not worth the money (I could have bought a decent guitar for the price of admission). I did, however, shoot some really good photos of the event (had a press pass) and was happy with that part of it.

I'm also struggling with the pricing on some of the cbg's that I am seeing as well as the ones I am building. I don't have pics up yet, but all I can say is that my builds are turning out to be pretty solid. I'm a bit of a perfectionist about my guitars (have a large collection) and am really particular about how my own cbgs look and sound. They are works of art to me, and they ought to sound really good if I am going to charge people to buy them. I also believe that one of the most impressive aspects of this movement is the concept that these instruments should be affordable so I am really struggling to make good, solid and attractive builds that I won't lose money on. I had a ton of fun at a yard sale today finding parts on the cheap, and finding all sorts of things that one could convert to an instrument. I never went to yard sales much before now.... but I am getting hooked! Hopefully I will get pics of some work up soon, and some of the odd parts that I am finding to build with. Great discussion!

Susan nailed it - On the subject of Clapton, in my opinion, he was good many years ago, but there are so many talented players who are better, or at least as good. I never get the feeling that he's connected with what he's playing, and there's no heart involved.'>>

Sadly some kind of body-snatcher took over about the time he stepped out of the "Layla" recording session in 1970.
