What do the Purist say? Just a Box a stick and wire, or thats only looks,it haz to sound like a super monster Killer guitar and look like crap, is there a general consensus on this or as many ideers as players and Builders! Are there Fraction,Left CBG Camps,Right CBG Style groeps? how is The USA Divided in to south style,midlands groove ,swampy build? whe wonder about that here in Europe, You guys live it day to day, tell us about that, are the river people more licence plate orientated, who is more wood orientated? and last but not least Must it bee Playeble?

I know your post is directed at the U.S guys Anders,but as for me,I like the whole range of what's presented here,U John's homey type stuff,yours and Deljero's attack,B's sweet arrangements,R/Road Don's boogie,Bug'svaritone stuff,Clock's industrial groove etc.same goes for the builds,elegant simplicity,full on s/punk,millimeter perfect instruments,every time i open the page i'm struck by the diversity,and it's all good
