So I have built a number of cigar box resonators. Last Friday I had a chance to meet Husky Burnette and get his impressions of some of my builds. (Thanks Reverend Nix) What was cool for me is we sat around for a while with a number of my builds, he played them and we would talk. I think I had three resonators there one of them had a piezo in it. Husky had his amp in the car so I asked if he would try it out and let me know what he thought. Here is a clip when he first plugged in. (Husky's is the one that say's "what" in the beginning of the clip) Later that night I ended up at the show and got to hear Husky play it live. That was the first time I have ever seen one of my builds live on stage in the hands of a journeyman musician. If you are not familiar with Husky check him out. He is awesome! Oh and when he pulls out a little 3 string cigar box resonator...... You will get a chance to see what I saw.... Rock on!

Thanks, I appreciate it very much. One thing, the cover plate is made from .026 gauge steel.  I bang it out on a bag of shot then I age it. I have some cooper that I am going to use for a cover plate but that someplace down the road. For now I am pretty happy with how this looks. Hey if you look on my facebook page you can now see a video of Husky Burnette playing this thing live.... It was really cool for me to see someone that plays as well as Husky with one of my builds.  (There are other great players out there with my builds, I just never get to see them)
