Yes, it had "goodies":-) )Had because it was returned) you never got to hear the grittiest......the thing I did not like about it was when changing up and down the numbered choices, the Vol levels also changed--some voices, very quiet, others YIKES.....not too cool, n'loud enuf to cause the cat/kids grief ..LOL...I'd love to be a product "tester".....
a thrill to play-,and visit here to see your pics! new vid up-however a lousy sound byte (cam sound), so I will try to add a MP3 version, as well, shortly...vid upload was treacherous !! many bogs, and stalls,...but I finally managed...;-)
XOShugs, my friend!
Laurie
thankyou Barry! working on getting some oldies but goodies recorded on the LRC, added as files and yes indeedy it is what you hear on my "radio".......Pete said the cure for the slack bottom is a thicker gauge,..like 70..not so sure the lovely tuners are made for such beasts! LOL.....have YET to take off the legs and play it sitting, true lap slide style....savoring each n every play....
;-) Laurie
Holy Smokes !!! That LRC is a true work of art in every sense of the word. WoW !!!
The arts of wood-scuplting, cabinet-making, metal-smithing, upholstering, music, sharing, love, compassion, all combined. Actually brought a tear to my eye, seriously.
A true thing of beauty thru n' thru in appearance, heart n' sound.
Now, I'm talkin' about the guitar, but Laurie fits the bill to a tee also. ;-)
Excellent piece ! Wait...,did I say WOW !?! :-) Take care man. -Wally
The only thing better than the custom LRC steel guitar, is the builder, and generous and creative heart:-) that lies therein..........This picker is on cloud nine,,,,,literally....the beauty of the guitar in the flesh is breathtaking, and the sound, heavenly........yup, cloud nine, i might not ever get down off the cloud...Hope to get to a maiden voyage demo vid soon,....for sake of hearing it! :-)thankyou, my friend.........
;-)XOS, LaurieLeeC
To say the least...That box sounds phenomenal...Is the pickup screwed into the cover? Or is it set in wax? What amp were you running that through? Nice work, brutha.
Thank you...all the playing is me, but I am not a builder. The instruments on my page were built for me and the pitchfork is part of a historic collection of instruments played by the Wisconsin Lumber Jacks. A friend of mine does research. He came across the photos and though I would like them. Have you seen my instructional video CDs? http://shop.ebay.com/njmikeb/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=&_trksid=p3686
Enjoy.
Thank you Barry for your comment. If it was possible, I would offer you a beer and some pizza too. Enjoy.
BTW: Your builds are looking exceptional fine.
Thanks for the comment - as to the tailpiece I have a really beautiful chunk of walnut which was a half of a knot that fell away from a neck I was working on - polished it up and it looks fantastic - just waiting for the right box to attach it to - probably a 2 stringer
Thanks Barry. The new box I just got was given to me by a friend. The ones I'm using for my build so far are made from door skin I had kicking around. I just laminate a couple of layers for the spots that need strength. The new box is crying to me to be a standup bass I think?
