Blimey, last night was Cigar Box Guitar Central at my gaff. Hollowbelly dropped by to collect his new "Pyronator" 4 string reso...and Roosterman was on the phone to both of us.

Mr HB gave my latest creation a thorough test...I don't think I've ever been so nervous having someone play one of my guitars...then he requested a minor adjustment....so  I made a new nut, altered the action & string spacing, did a rough fit...HB tested it..them I did a final fit for the new nut, final test...it was like doing a fitting at a trad.  Saville Row tailor's shop.  Man...is he intense when he gets going on a guitar!  Judging by what I heard, his next album is going to be ripping.  

I also took on the task of fitting a new pickup to another of his guitars (bit too much of a job to do on the spot, so it's with me for a short while) and I gave him another 4 string reso (which I just happened to have handy) on indefinite loan as a backup for his forthcoming European tour...blimey..luthier and guitar tech to the stars!!
