Hey JuJu,
sorry didn't get back to you earlier.
Trees Roundabouts and concrete cows, that's all you need to know about Milton Keynes, I was one of the lucky ones and managed to get out of the heck hole about 14 years ago. London's okay, just visiting the west end is enough for me, worked up there for a few years, but having to get on the tube in the height of summer with a load of bare chested stink bags really wasn't how I wanted to spend my early mornings or evenings LOL!
Man your suff is getting really awesome!!!!! I wish i could build as well as you...ou are so talented! any chance on a JuJu three string guitar in the future???
the song sounds great..I saw your stuff on youtbe!
Hey JuJu.
Looking forward to meeting you at the gig, I just got my ticket, are you gonna play with me and ben (not to be taken the wrong wayLOL)
Cheers for the welcome!
thanks Juju. i work on that cohiba now and then but its time to get her done. i am thinning the top with a router, that is what you see there. i will have more pics soon...
Awesome! I have stained mine, added soundholes, and added electronics now, too! I will put up more vids of "my first CBG" soon. What an awesome hobby! Thanks for the kind words! I hope to get as seasoned atthis as you are!
Recording a reso its prolly a tricky business - not something Iv tried tho, it might be dead easy...
Definately have to get some footage to post here - maybe if everyone does a bit we'll get the lot!
Dont worry about carrying me though - if im playing something Il be cold sober till its over - i have nuff trouble playing without being pished too :o)
Juju, quick thanks for the pointers on ma reso - changed the bridge into a biscuit stylie and bingo, twice the jangle!
Just got to redo the nut now.... pesky zero frets!!
Yep- a Boston... I knew you were in the UK, I was just saluting your skills...Lol..
I know what you mean about the prices...oof...if the value of the $ drops much more they'll be selling 'em as cigarette paper!!

No worries with the lift bro - you can have a seat, I dont mind my guitar riding in the boot this once lol
Soon as I get 10 mins to ring the B&B Il sort it and let you know
Anything you cant do mate?? Wish Id had known - Id have brought it to you - I hate welding lol
Yup, ticket number one - Il be getting y'all to sign it of course, then framing it hehe
If you get stuck for a lift let me know bro - Im driving down so theres loads of room, and I dont mind a detour on the way. Im going to try and book the same B&B too - if nots not already full of cbgers!!
Got a strip of super bright LEDS from Maplins but just havnt had chance to fit them yet - busy welding the car for its Mot :o( Aswell as that Im half way through a cbg to match the amp and a 6 string reso conversion too, but Il get round to it!
Have you got your Birmingham ticket yet? Just wondering where ya staying? Im going to book somewhere today, but going down the friday so I can be there early (and still get a lie in!)

Glad to see your page, you are a master builder to be sure and it is good to see you in the community. I am new to Cigar Box Nation and still getting my feet on the ground. Keep up the good work and posting the pictures & tunes. Your work inspires me.
howdy brother ju ju just popped in for my fix of listening to yer tunes.your playing style helps me to have a better outlook on my day.great music you have here on yer page. great work you be doing on the latest build.from start to finish you rank 100 % on creative genius, top notch in every aspect. i would like to use your f-hole pattern on my next build but make mine smaller for my black cohiba reso build,will it be ok by you for me to do that? take care and be well across the big pond.
I've been meaning to do a cover of this since I got my David Bowie Stylophone last Christmas. This song is outside my vocal range and difficult to sing, but ...
