Careless John advised me to put a video up on my website (http://boxymusic.wix.com/boxymusic), so here it is...sound test of latest 3 string guitar, tuned GDG, made from an old photographic slides box and some other bits and pieces. Played through a 20w Orange amp with some reverb. Made it up as I went along, I will plan something properly next time!

Ta for what you said. I am happy with the way the old nail box turn out and am having some fun learning to play it.

Cheers for now.

Thanks Anders! I was pleased with how this guitar turned out, and it's pretty compact if i ever have to get on the bus with it! Suffice to say i'm keeping it!

Thanks for the comments guys. Pick, it probably sounds eerily familiar because I have been watching John McNair's DVD a lot these past few weeks. A LOT!

As for the website, all the guitars on it were made by me. I made the website because a lot of people who know about my hobby keep asking me about the guitars I have made. Now I can send them there to look at some pretty pictures. I also like the fact that it keeps a record of all the guitars I've made over the years too...some of them I've sold and some I've swapped for things, and some have been given away...

sounds great ,  ...... and   somehow eerily  familiar  .

 nice site    too  ..  but  its  hard   to   tell    are these    guits all made by  you ?  are  you  selling them  ?    or  is it  mor of an info   site  ?

Some great road trips have started out with no destination...
