Hello Jim,
Sorry for the delayed response. I've been in the process of moving and ya know what a pain that is...All my instructional video CDs are for sale with international shipping. Either on www.ebay.com / Search: keni lee or you can simply write to me at kenileeburgess@aol.com Tell me the CDs you want and I can send you a Paypal invoice. Money orders are good too. Sorry no Amazon. Thank you for your comment and let me know how I can be of assistance, Keni Lee
hi Jim, i'm sold out atm but will be building some new ones over the next few weeks, give me an idea of what you want and yours will be 1st off the production line! Full 4 string fretted builds go for around £120 and the piezo budget fretless around £50, thanks for friending! (-:
I seem unable to message you via CBN. I have the info and have sorted a bridge which you should get after the weekend.
Been looking on Ebay that Boss RV-5 is still quite expensive lol,
yep it's the Boss RV-5...but I have to say that I think a lot of the tone comes from that guitar. It's Red Dog made by John McNair and he makes beautiful guitars!!!
Hi Jim, re the amp, if you mean the yellow one?...then I was using a borrowed pedal, the Boss RV-5 I think. I've since got myself a Hardwire RV-7 which sounds great : -)
Thanks for the invite Jim. The amp booklet I produced is a fiver (ink and paper and stamps aren't free unfortunately). If you want one please email me direct at smojoguitars@yahoo.co.uk and I'll give you details for payment. cheers, smojo
Thank you Jim for joining my group. Please feel free to add to the discussions or ask questions. Please check out my instructional video CDs:

Enjoy your practice, Keni Lee
Jim,
I would be cautious buying from an unknown seller on ebay unless I could try it out first as the quality varies so much. Have you had chance to have a strum on a CBG yet to see how comfortable the smaller neck feels to you?
There is a group here http://www.cigarboxnation.com/group/londonandnearby and John Maw is a great bloke - ask if anyone in the group is near enough for you to meet up and try out a few different CBGs.
