well Ive got to agree with you on that 100. its changed a lot since Ive got on. but thats the way it goes I guess. ive built 5 so far and havent tried to sell one. gave a couple away but thats it, just like to build them and play them. stay cool brother and dont let that beard get away from ya.
Hi..i sent you a request...you commented, but did not confirm.
i now feel assaulted by the number of needless e-mails i've gotten from CBN in spite of my clicking 'no e-mails from CBN'....and quite a few other buttons.
it is VERY likely i will cease being a member within this day.
thank you for your kind welcome...zan.

You are welcome, Lou. I know what you mean about the madness of Christmas. The last couple of days, I have worked on my first Tin guitar. There sure is alot of work into the neck. I need to fine tune the shape of the neck, drill the holes in the headstock, and tailpiece, stain the fingerboard, glue the neck and fingerboard together, and etc.. See, I still have a ways to go. I am like a turtle, very slow.
Actually, we took the picture because for once it WAS green.... meanwhile, we have a momma and poppa wild turkey pair like the ones in your pictures...
nice looking builds, btw... z.

Lou, you are welcome. That is nice to know you like critters, too.
Ha,..........good to know that you know 'Costo's & Krista" they are good friends of ours, we eat at "Sophia's" quite often, wicked small world, isn't it? (:>}
'Shara Wormwood' in Limerick is our Vet, has been since we lived here.
Yeah, I get the WILD beard thing a lot, especially in the winter when I just let it go long, call it my "Winter Coat" don't you know, helps keep my delicate skin protected from the harsh Maine elements. LOL !
I don't get over to Limmington much, just pass through sometimes on the way up to Whindam if going the back way to get away from Rt-25, use to stop at "Two Trails" for a coffee but it's changed and I don't much care for the way it is now.
Well, if you spot me in a teal 2000 Dodge Dakota Sport don't hesitate to holler.
usually i only make it up to cornish to go the vet or dinner at krista's...but i might spot you at dudo's sometime...you hard to miss with that kickass beard!
Thanks for the nice comments on the ducks Lou, I have been blessed with the ability to make a living as an artist. Not carving. Advertising design and illustration. But I've never been able to make music... I'm working on that here.
thanks lou fer the cool comments on the vintage Omar build and to answer yer question about the inputs yes there are two of them one is fer the stonehenge and the other is for a tesla both powerplants come from ted crocker. my next and final stage is to put a blend pot between the 2 inputs so i can run 2 seperate amps with that guitar. take care man and thanks again fer the cool comments.
Checkin out your pics, truely inspiring. Love your adventurous way of constructing bridge, tailpiece, nut, all of it. Great photos too, with all the different color leaves on the ground, and the woodpile. Makes me nostalgic for my childhood in New England. Rock on dude, Peace, Joe
