    Hey, just wanted to say I dig your stuff, and I think the heavy tailstock for improved balance is an idea worth stealing!

    I would like to encourage you to post more information on your builds, I am particularly interested in your pickup design, as the sound in your videos seems especially good!

    Thanks for the comment on my profile and the compliment for my guitars. I'm pretty proud of the effort. I'm happy to have a hobby that includes collaboration and feedback from a great group of people here on CBN.

    yes thanks Smokestack, using this guitar at the Shindig in July, lovely woody sound, if any drunken punters try to rush the stage they'll get the point...he he ! The cutting out was tricky but loved doing it, worked out a treat!
  • Josh Gayou (SmokehouseGuitars)

    Thanks, man. So do you.
  • Mike Bingham

    Thanks for the friend invitation, Smokestack.  I appreciate it very much!  See you round the Nation.

    I like what you are doing. Do you jam much with other people? I come down to LA a few times a year and always have a box with me.

    Smokey,


    Glad to have you as a Nation friend. I've been through Vidalia: famous for sweet onions,and now, your guitars. Absolutely love your work, and lust after an example. Have to wait 'till next year, as I've used up my allowable GAS (Guitar Acquisition Syndrome) budget with the better half this year.

    thanks for the invite,like your stuff and the 'mojo' blog was fun, i have a pal who had to buy cheap copies of 'the usual' just to hang on the wall- so i guess they're his idea of Mojo, he cannot see the point in what people are doing on here, his loss i say.

    Actually, I HAVE been through your Vidalia, I have purchased some sweet onions from the other one in your town, sold to me by someone who mistook me for a Texan, and therefore gullible (I'm actually from Eldorado, Arkansas; long story, but I was on my way from Shreveport to Houma to fly offshore, and had promised a buddy of mine to stop off and get some Vidalia onions for a chili recipe he was gonna show the cook on the rig we were going to), and you SHOULD be famous for your guitars, and... you're not buyin' any of this, are you...

    Yeah, a loooonnnngg ways from home! But I do get to go home with the family for Christmas this year. Let's talk some after the new year about designing a custom job; I might be able to convince my wife that next year's anniversary gift should be a Smokestack, if I get her some more jewelry.
