At 4:08am on March 7, 2011, Gadsden Guitars said…: Thanks for posting the pic of the innards of the reso, it's cool to see how other builders over come different situations. I'm so glad Redd got over there and made you gitbox sing for ya, we as builders and not so much players, (although I think you do just fine), need to be assured we're on the right track. Saturday I went to see a show and was hoping to get some video of one of my gitboxes but the guy didn't even bring it and although they had a full house and everyone was dancin' there asses off, I didn't get my video. I'm gonna take your lead and just put one together myself. Got the Chickenhead reso wired up and I'll have a sound check up soon. I'm really looking forward to getting some of your cones, trying to find a supplier of 6in cones has been frustrating and scoring some 4in cones would be dreamy indeed, I just love the reso sound. Keep in touch.

Yes it's been a while due to some hard times but i'm okay now ;) thanks for asking my friend.

Those little 4" cones are a cool solution to the box size problem and sound great too, i was expecting a very different sound than a regular tricone due to the smaller cones but it's realy not that far off! I bet even Don Young would say so!

Tell me, will you be selling the cones? I have been toying around with the idea of a tricone cbg and since you beat me to it might aswell ask you to spin them for me hehehe

Cheers and best wishes mate, Frans

At 9:18am on February 28, 2011, Keni Lee Burgess said…: Thank you for your response. Your Tricone reminds me of the 2 big single cone CBGs that Jimmy Millinchuk built for me. In open tuning with a slide, this is the weapon of choice for the noisy streets. A regular acoustic won't cut through and who wants to be lugging a battery powered amp along too. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy.

At 8:12am on February 25, 2011, Laurie Lee Campbell said…: "early morning blues", dang sweet! ...amazing audio capture..!!!! "The reso Blues" WOW......astounding, too....what a blues feel!.....but that reso's not the latest tri cone?

send a heads up, juju, when you get a sound demo, unless I missed it...;-) will love to hear em side by side.....

At 12:29pm on February 20, 2011, Uncle John said…: Juju, I'm glad to have you for a nation friend. :)

At 7:47am on February 20, 2011, Uncle John said…: I liked the sound of the git you made on Norm Fasey's Nobody's Fault But Mine. Checked your page out. Great blues and beautiful gits.

At 3:30am on February 19, 2011, sebien said…: Hello,

I really admire what you do; are you still building CBG and do you sell it? If you do, what are prices?

I enjoy to hear about you.

Yup, another CGB from Portugal ( I really hope so...)

I was truelly inspired from some of your works!

Just on my way to work the ideas, be prepared for some couple of questions, ok?

Hope you are keeping well.

At 9:56am on February 2, 2011, Billie Bags said…: Thanks again for helping me out. I'm still trying to work out how we can do this, hopefully avoiding inter-continental shipping. Are you familiar with peer-to-peer file sharing? Also, I'll have to send you a release form, which I'll need you to print out, sign, and either fax, scan and email, or post back to me.

At 8:51am on January 31, 2011, Billie Bags said…: Thanks so much for letting me use your music. Do you have anything on CD? I'll have to send you a release form, and I can send a blank DVD as well, to burn the files to. I like to use uncompressed files (not mp3's,) since they'll sound much better.

At 6:43am on January 31, 2011, Billie Bags said…: Hi again. Haha sorry I just found your comment. So these songs on your player are played by you, then? I like them. I definitely like Early Morning Blues, and Reso Blues, as well. Would you be at all interested in having your music featured in an independent documentary?

At 6:32am on January 31, 2011, Billie Bags said…: Hi, thanks for adding me. I'm new to the site and not quite sure how everything works yet. I'm looking for some good music, preferably folk/bluegrass, for a movie I'm making. Any suggestions? I'm looking for something upbeat and rural. (Mumford and Sons, Monsters of Folk, etc.)
