Cowcatcher Blues

This was a rebuild of a 3 string with a winter theme slay riding top. It was a sub par player - the intonation was off.

I've been teaching a neighbor girl to play and I think this will get gifted to her. It's a pretty good player now.

Comment by AGP # on June 29, 2021 at 11:15am: Nice Rustic look to this one 'UJ', enhanced by the Dave Lynas Type Painted Fretboard Markers, and the expensive matching Git Strap. :-)

Comment by Doug Thorsvik on June 29, 2021 at 10:01am: Sharp looking guitar Uncle John. The red accents look great. Awesome box too! I’m sure she’ll like it.
