Disclaimer: I’m Posting this in the hope that I don’t upset or offend any of the Cigar Nation Members, and if so please tell me, and I will remove it.

This is the modification of a build I originally done back in May 2014, when I was overawed by one of our dear departed “The Anonymous Pick” Builds, which I posted a ‘Like’ for at the time, and mentioned the fact that I might have to do a similar build, he quickly informed me that his ‘Swamp~witch’ design and name was protected, but soon after I did do a similar build, and informed the ‘Pick’, that I would never post any pics of it, out of respect for his name and product, and he informed me he was fine with that, (plus the fact he might sue me ;-D), but as any one who has followed the #480 different builds I have done over the last 9 to 10 years, will know that I’m not in the business of building CBG’s for profit, and have never sold a single one!

So in posting these cropped Pics of “My Own Personal Tribute” to Pierre Pepi Muloin aka ‘The Anonymous Pick’, and in order to pay the same respect to Ben & The Gitty Crew, I won’t post the full pics, but I’m sure you can use your own imagination to fill in the empty spaces.

The modifications were made to make it a little more truer to Picks ideas, which included lowering the depth of the Body, changing the Fretboard, Scale Length and String Gauges, I was a bit sceptical about the String Gauges at first, as the have very low String Tension, but as you can easily guess, they sound just fine, and while in my mind, it looks like a ‘Pick Build’, sounds like a ‘Pick Build’, BUT! it definitely lacks the ‘Pick Mojo’, “God Bless Him and may he Rest In Peace”

A fitting tribute Alan! Well done. A great way to honor his memory.

"Thanks Jerry & UJ", as I said, first built in May 2014, and just now modified as my tribute to the "Pick" :-) :-)

WOW!  You caught me off guard on this one.  What a great idea and tribute.  And the execution is looking good.

That is awesome. Pick was an inspiring builder. And you are too. I always wait to see your next build.

I like the modifications.Great work!
