Thanx Darren for the friend request...great pics of your builds !!
Hey Darren, I just took a tour of many of your photos. I was hoping you showed your Regal lap steel. Didn't see it, but wow! You've made some great guitars. I love the variety and inventiveness. You're finishes are unique and exploratory. Thanks for the show.
