Where is Grand Island??? I'm from Cocoa...willardj

Hi -

I know someone from Grand Island...Finn, a great trumpet player and his wife Dani ride down on their Harley to play at our jams. They're great people and he works at a car dealership as the service manager, maybe you know them. It'd be great to get together with you, Willard and anyone else who lives in our area.

Blues & Peace,

Finn comes down to Sanford to play at the jams I host. There aren't many opportunities for the Blues in Eustis. I used to host a Blues jam, play solo and with my band Doc & The Healers at Backroom Bluz in Eustis but thet're out of business now.

On the Jolene Cover video the tone of your guitar is awesome - a very clean acoustic sound!!! I'm curious as to the tuning and scale length? Thanks for sharing your work.

Thanks for the response. I've been experimenting with different tunings on my 4-string guitars. I started with GDAD (Bouzouki) and am now trying DGBE (Baritone Uke). Is Open G the tuning you use most often on a 4-string? I just Googled it and found that on a 6-string it is DGDGBD, so for a 4-string is it DGDG? For strings are you using the first four of a normal acoustic guitar set or custom weights?

Doug

really nice work you got here man,good job, nice touch.

Hello There

Hi thanks for your kind comments on my builds - yes i'm trying to get my act together to make a video i have been asked by loads of people - the problem is that i'm not the best player so i'm wanting to make a video that is listenable , until i'm happy with the playing i will not upload it - i dont want to make the CBG's sound bad because of my playing - they sound nice but i canot make them sing like they can
I have a recording on my page which i made of me playing the Mayorga my #2 build have a listen thats about my playing ability so far lol!!

Very Nice workmanship! Beautiful guitars, Man.

Your are building some GREAT Guitars . How many hours do you put in one . Love the Fret work , all mine have been frettless so far but i'm about ready to try one . Great sound Too !!!!

Hey there - thanks for the comment. I have seen your stuff and really like your work. One question, where is Grand Island, FL? Take care - Jim

Hey man I'm just down the road from you Land O Lakes... ( North Tampa )....
My wife's parents live up there... Like your stuff man.. Where do you find those Jazz Humbuckers?

Thanks for the information I will check them out... Really like your stuff man take care - Jim

One more question... do you have any tips on controlling piezo's (sp) I tried some from Radio Shack and don't like the sound through a real amp. especially when you try to overdrive them for that blues sound...

I appreciate you looking at my guitar and commenting. I hope to get as good at it as the rest of you guys.

Nice guitars and amps you have here.

"is that a custom made volume and tone plate??"

Nope. That's a standard plate that you'd order to build a real tele.

Thanks for the kinds words.

Hello,
