Thank you for your comment. Consider purchasing Bill's book. It definitely is a part of CBNation history. As a Community we have come a long way! Enjoy.
loadin a vid of the banjanator no.2 check it out when ya get the chance.it souns like a banjo and that is what i was trying to make it sound like with the plate in it for the resonator yep.
thanks mark,the new design pickup that ted built has good tone i think. you should check out one for the resonators you build,i have heard that a coil mag pup usually picks up tone from the metal in a resonator for a unique kind of sound.thanks again.
Man that is incredible!!!! I have been in awe of your work, but I must say has blown me away and its not even done!...as for the sound hole, i looked at them both ways, its hard to tell which is better...perhaps this way,
makes most sense to the eye, but they look great both ways.
I think your work looks super original! there is nothing else out there that has your style, and to me thats the most import part about being an artist, having your own style.
O my goodness!!!! I am so ready!!!! I have been thinking about it everyday, i never email cuz i don't want to be pushy, whenever i make stuff for people sometimes they email me a bucnh of times and make it hard on me, but i am super apprectaive...i will email with all my thoughts and Ideas once I start playing it!...I am seriously out of sounds and ideas over here and I want to play guitar but need something with a different sound and i know this will cure all....and it is 100 percent what i saw in my mind...i love the wooden look and the neck looks fantastic...everything looks great...I am soooooo gonna make some killer videos with it....I just need a break from 3 strings , I love them but everything starts to sound the same...this will put me over the top with a differnert sound...I have saved the money and i am so ready I will be forever in debt and honored to play your work!
it hurt to do the foot drums but it hurt more to hold that song in side me L.J. . thanks Uncle John super thank you 'Wes Carl much thanks ' mark Lillo big thanks Mark ' Chris Ballard me to wish i could write something that good ' Mr Random Writings thanks Brian ' Frank Posey this song rocked me during thanksgiving dinner kept thinking about people not as fortunate as i
thanks for the comment on the pic of the banjanator 2 mark.i got it broke down to do more finish work to it but as soon as i can i will get it finished and try out a sound check on it.the metal in it is in the fashion of the plate resonators i have been experimenting with,hoping it has a kinda banjo jangle to it when i get it done. take care bro.
