Hogs.

Wow Juju, what a tease - would love to work with you man! Your an CBG icon

Thank you JUJU. I am not sure. Although, I believe this flood was the worst river flood in the history of the US to date. Charlie Patton sang about it too.  http://youtu.be/336dDZsU1Eg Due to the magnitude, I figure every  generation in Mississippi after him referred back to this same catastrophic event. Enjoy.

I was just admiring your work. You're a fine craftsman that's for sure.

Cheers Juju, much appreciated! Glad you liked em - I'll post videos soon.

Great builds, great music

Pleased to meet you sir !

Thank you for your nice comment,

I ve to come back here often to see all nice things on your page...°<[:-) [---]==={

That'd be a music studio.

Thanks

Nigel

very like the pup , how much would a thing like that cost?...to a pensioner;)

your guits are stunning...

Thanks JUJU. I am honored to be your friend and pickup owner. I'll make a very special diddly bow for her. ... Dave

Hi fella, I got say mate,I just loved the Plank. It played and sounded spot on. Nick's got it back now and I do miss it!! I'm going to be doing some serious thinking about having one of those for myself!

Just finished off the Glitsch cigar box, finally decided on the knob location, to keep it gretsch looking. Just about to post up a few pic's if ya fancy giving it the once over

WOW........ just finished the build, rough around the edges, but the sound OH LORD, its so sweet, amazing , thanks to your pickup, cant thank you enough brother, anyone thinking about getting a quality pup, look no further you will never be sorry, owe you big time JuJu.

Hi JUJU, I just received your fine cyclops Padauk pickup. It's as beautiful in hand as it is in your photo. Thanks you so much. Now I can build away. Diddle around a bit.... Dave ... Good JUJU...

Hi JuJu, I just found out what happened to Ted Crocker. He had a bad accident in Feb. and has been layed up with multiple fractures and injuries. That's what happened to my pickup order. He's just getting back to business. He's pushing hard to recover his business. I'm glad I was patient about my order now I know the circumstances. The good out of this is that it led me to you and your fine work. I love my little cyclops and the diddley  is on its way. ... Dave

Hey JUJU, hope alls good. I can see why you can't keep hold of a Plank for yourself, they do look, sound & play superb, you must of sold alot of those. If I had the cash I'd be ordering one today!! I wouldn't know where to start to build one, that bottle just fits in perfect!

I'd love to see your take on a gretsch, I reckon you'd make a cracker!, if you need any orange gretsch dye give us a shout as I've loads left.

Take it easy

Jim

hi, juju thanks for invite, ...

hey, they're reasonable, i'll have to design/ build something special ... i'll be in touch. summers on the way, done 1 festi last week and got a few people interested, not least an old aquaintance who wants me to come to WOMAD and help out on  his project - woodland gamalan , they build instruments staight out of the woods ...offered me a pitch building  diddleys etc...who'd ha' tho't it ...:)

Hey man, thought i'd drop in an see how your doin', been a while and I just got a new computer with a Linux OS and i'm back in business :>) Drop me a line here or there, and I'll talk to ya soon mate.

E

Hey bro, well, I got a smokin' deal on a refurbished server tower, $168.00 U.S., and it was a blank slate to boot! My buddies been hounding me to run Linux so I let him have at it, the O.S. seems fine to me so far, I'm pretty technologically stunted so it's not that big a deal. Just have to find a program that works with my wifes HD viddy and I'm golden. Hey, your ears musta been burnin' about them cones! LOL But yeh dude, still want me a tri-cone set up for sure, let me know how much and where to send the money. :>) And if ya could send me some numbers for a multiple set order as well, I've got a few guitar shops that are waiting for some of my builds, so the sooner the better cause I need to build some reso's in this next grip of builds I have cooking up.

E

Hey JUJU, glad you got the package in good order. Just wanted to thank you in more than words. I love that little pup and will enjoy it greatly. 

Hey JUJU, just been taking a look at your slideshow and hearing your reso play while I view. You are the best JUJU. Copper plating too....

Are you from the deep south of Yorkshire Sheff? your tunes are cool must be in the tea;-)

I am Woodthorpe where are you from?

Davey

I Have some mats's on the Cliff and Chap good to meet you man. You can play. Ilike the Les Paul Blues. I gotto go talk a again I gotta go to bed up a 5 and here is 1 hour forward from you. Small world ;-)

Hi JUJU, here's progress on #20 Cyclops. Getting closer... Dave

Thanks JUJU, coming from you, it's a great compliment. I draw a lot, but not in my builds or pottery. I draw to decorate or explain. Building is drawing in three dimension. I'm glad you liked the eye. And that it made it to you in short order and safely. Smoke and mirrors. As it stands the string on this diddley will be quite close to the pup's eye. How close should it be? I may add a thin fretboard to get the pup a little farther from the string. I'm planning on a brass screw in the nose which goes through the soundboard and is wired to my ground on the volume pot. That should work for the string grounding. The slot in the screw will be my bridge saddle. There will be a tooth on the lip over the string hole. I could use this as a ground post also or as an alternative to the bridge ground. Either would work. Hope you're well and frisky... Dave

Thanks again, JUJU. I think this will work. More pics soon. And I just got another old lap steel to investigate. A Harmony from the 40s, 50s. Nice shape and sounds great. Pics when the sun shines...

Hey man awesome to catch up at last @ Barnsley-you're lookin way healthy mate-stay off the fags an on that bike-doin you the world of good.
