At 11:53am on July 7, 2010, Keni Lee Burgess said…: Thank you James for sending the links. I will check them out. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy.

At 11:11am on February 25, 2010, James Carpenter said…: Thanks for the tip - it looks like just the ticket for videos on the cheap. I'm kind of thinking about going for "sound samples", tho', as I'm not much to look at, and anybody who wants to cop my picking style would be sorely disappointed. I'm a fiddle player by nature - "don't fret" remains good advice.

I understand Zoom makes a nice digital recorder (with rave reviews)for something like $140 - that looks like the way to go for me. We'll see there.

This last contest has me kinda worked up, speaking of cyber-age-stuff - the day I "twitter" will be when I wake up as a bird - I'm just getting a handle on what a "blog" is, exactly. NB, maybe the next contest would be based on real-world Analog-guy skills - MyFace don't mean all that much to me, but those 75 prize cigar boxes do look attractive. I hate to be out of the running because I'm not suitably e-hip. I'm just saying ...

Easy and cheap. Enjoy.

At 9:51am on February 17, 2010, Jim Mitchell said…: Got it, thanks.... the curly is a nice build as well I am certain that the new owner is very happy with it. Do you wind your own pick-ups as well? I have been having trouble finding a local hobby shop that stocks CF for neck support. So the search continues. I am actually installing a truss rod in my current build. I really believe it is over kill at this point but we will see. Thanks again for the info. Take care - Jim

At 8:16am on February 17, 2010, Jim Mitchell said…: Yep... I have seen two used along side truss rods. Do you have a good source? And was that the Sortacaster that you sold? What do you get for them they are very cool?

At 10:46am on February 15, 2010, Roger Morin said…: Wow James your sportacaster is something that I have thought about on how it would look. Really a great looking guitar.

At 5:30am on January 7, 2010, Tres Seaver said…: Welcome aboard, James! You will find lots of helpful folks and information here on all things CBG (CBB, CBU, etc.) Feel free to poke around, ask questions, and post your stuff (photos, recordings, videos, etc.).

Most of all, have fun!

Tres.
