At 12:29am on June 14, 2012, Dave Lynas said…: Thanks JUJU, coming from you, it's a great compliment. I draw a lot, but not in my builds or pottery. I draw to decorate or explain. Building is drawing in three dimension. I'm glad you liked the eye. And that it made it to you in short order and safely. Smoke and mirrors. As it stands the string on this diddley will be quite close to the pup's eye. How close should it be? I may add a thin fretboard to get the pup a little farther from the string. I'm planning on a brass screw in the nose which goes through the soundboard and is wired to my ground on the volume pot. That should work for the string grounding. The slot in the screw will be my bridge saddle. There will be a tooth on the lip over the string hole. I could use this as a ground post also or as an alternative to the bridge ground. Either would work. Hope you're well and frisky... Dave

At 5:31am on May 16, 2012, Gadsden Guitars said…: Hey bro, well, I got a smokin' deal on a refurbished server tower, $168.00 U.S., and it was a blank slate to boot! My buddies been hounding me to run Linux so I let him have at it, the O.S. seems fine to me so far, I'm pretty technologically stunted so it's not that big a deal. Just have to find a program that works with my wifes HD viddy and I'm golden. Hey, your ears musta been burnin' about them cones! LOL But yeh dude, still want me a tri-cone set up for sure, let me know how much and where to send the money. :>) And if ya could send me some numbers for a multiple set order as well, I've got a few guitar shops that are waiting for some of my builds, so the sooner the better cause I need to build some reso's in this next grip of builds I have cooking up.

At 4:52am on May 11, 2012, Jim Junksville Sharkey said…: Hey JUJU, hope alls good. I can see why you can't keep hold of a Plank for yourself, they do look, sound & play superb, you must of sold alot of those. If I had the cash I'd be ordering one today!! I wouldn't know where to start to build one, that bottle just fits in perfect!

I'd love to see your take on a gretsch, I reckon you'd make a cracker!, if you need any orange gretsch dye give us a shout as I've loads left.

Take it easy

Jim

At 3:14am on May 10, 2012, Dave Lynas said…: Hi JuJu, I just found out what happened to Ted Crocker. He had a bad accident in Feb. and has been layed up with multiple fractures and injuries. That's what happened to my pickup order. He's just getting back to business. He's pushing hard to recover his business. I'm glad I was patient about my order now I know the circumstances. The good out of this is that it led me to you and your fine work. I love my little cyclops and the diddley is on its way. ... Dave

At 4:10am on May 8, 2012, Dave Lynas said…: Hi JUJU, I just received your fine cyclops Padauk pickup. It's as beautiful in hand as it is in your photo. Thanks you so much. Now I can build away. Diddle around a bit.... Dave ... Good JUJU...

At 4:42am on April 27, 2012, Jim Junksville Sharkey said…: Hi fella, I got say mate,I just loved the Plank. It played and sounded spot on. Nick's got it back now and I do miss it!! I'm going to be doing some serious thinking about having one of those for myself!
