Aha! Yes! It is EXACTLY like that. Although i've not managed to snap the neck off...yet! Just needs a proper set up which may or may not require planing the neck.
"Ticklin' The Strings" by Sweet Hollywaiians
Amazing Japanese hot string band playing 1920's, 30's, 40's style hawaiian, swing, calypso, blues, italian music and originals,featuring vintage instruments.3 songs with Robert Armstrong and Tony Marcus(from Robert Crumb and His Cheap Suit Serenaders)
"The Sweet Hollywaiians have probably the best feel for this 20's music of any string band working today. They manage the rare feat of sounding relaxed even when their playing is hot, are top notch musicians with tasteful arrangements and a full, rich, warm sound.Plus, they have a nice gamut of tunes, from King Nawahi to Giovanni Vicari to Bobby Leecan. See them live, if you can, for an unforgettable experience. If you can't, buy their Cds!" ~ Terry Zwigoff
Greetings, Thanks for listening. I really love the sound of those guitars (as well as the expertly crafted ad campaign of the "tin tone" models). The looks don't hurt either. Stay in touch, won't you? Electronically yours, elevators
That's my first. I just finished it up last week. It took me a minute to get used to playing it, but I can't put it down now. It's so simple, but so fun to play and sounds great. I recorded a little song and should have a video up soon. I'l let you know. Take it easy Jon.
Yea. I have been pondering the placement of the pegs behind the box on my own designs. Yours look very well made, I will have to change some schematics. lol. Realy though if you are not a member of already or have not heard of cigar box nation it is worth looking into.
