Comment by BUGGY (C) on July 11, 2013 at 12:29pm: Yes I did... less is more... its a bit lashed at the moment so need to build a proper bridge and things..

I like the sound of vintage tin... about 4 hrs inc painting and poping out to buy some paint..

Plan to fit a 6 string flat pup too..

Comment by Uncle John on July 11, 2013 at 12:21pm: Holey Buckets, you put that git together fast!

Comment by Uncle John on July 11, 2013 at 12:20pm: Geetar sounds super bluesy and the playing is tops.

I like the hubcap and big rectangular cans a lot.

How many strings are you plucking?   Have you done a video of the old classic, 'How Fast Can Your Weiner Dog Run?'   This sounds an awful lot like it.

Comment by BUGGY (C) on July 11, 2013 at 12:15pm: This is what I looked like at 6pm tonight...
