I throw myself on the mercy of the court. Too bad all I got is a skyhook.

Well crap. My New Years Resolution was to not cause any problems on CBN!

No sweat, Jim.  You made it 5 days and it's just a small problem for Ron, and a bonus for big Casey.  Maybe he will make a video.  Move on.  Start over.

Store boughts that I just about love.   Left to right:  Repaired no name tenor guitar and Lanikai  concert uke with great electronics.  Old (1955) Silvertone converted to acoustic electric 5 string open G- saved from the landfill,-   and a nice little six string saved from the land fill.  Left out: a $65.00 Austin mandolin. 

 

Confession: I played a Martin Dread Saturday and someday (if my bad hands get better- will get one again.  Such a big and boomy sound.

 

 

 Love your store bought's  to Uncle John that 1955 Silvertone is cool Man

Thanks, James O.  From junk to goodness on that one.  

Store boughts are "OK", love what you've done with the Silvertone 55, it's given me a few ideas for a couple of similar landfill finds of my own.

Man you all got lots of guitars. I better catch up!

That's not all of them and I surmise that Jim M. is not too far behind - and may be ahead!
