At 6:33am on July 21, 2018, Dan said…: I hope I doing this correct. I want to tell all that after over 1 1/2 years of fighting cancer that I am finally building my next project. It should be ready by the end of August 2018. I appreciate everyone who has commented on my instruments. For the next one think 8 string. God bless you all.

At 5:15am on January 25, 2017, Dave Lynas said…: Hi Dan. Thanks for the friend request. Glad to. Boy, that guitar is pretty! I didn't see it until I hit "full size". Great craft and contrasts in the wood. Bet it sounds good too.

At 4:45am on January 25, 2017, Gary W aka Rev. Bluejeans said…: Dan, the shield box itself is a work of art! As a CBG, amazing! Well done!

At 4:14am on January 25, 2017, Jerry Jordan said…: Hello, I'm sure you could sell them. Some folks sell from here at CBN, their own website, or on Facebook. I sell mine on Ebay, and I see them on Etsy as well. Really just a matter of where you want to advertise. Beautiful work.

At 9:23am on June 20, 2016, Uncle John said…: Hi Dan. I like your builds. You and your Mrs. make a nice looking couple. It is good to have you for a CBN friend.

At 12:56pm on April 27, 2016, Old Lowe said…: Hello Dan I sent you a friend request so we can message each other on here.

Thanks!
