About me:
Mankato Woodworks is a custom woodworking shop located in Mankato, MN. It is owned and operated by Dave Begalka. Mankato Woodworks is the only dedicated full time luthiery specialist in south central MN. We are the proud builders of Lapro Electric Resonator Guitars. Lapro Guitars have a hand lathed maple resonator cone for balanced gutsy tone. We offer a fine selection of pickups and replacement parts from L.R.Baggs, Highlander, Fishman, Allparts, WD, and others. I play slide guitar and dobro in a folky doke rocky band called the B Squad (See Friends...) Previously I have been involved in a variety of musical projects based out of Mankato including Algo Underground, Libido Boyz, BlackBlackSea (rip), and solo acoustic guitar performances. To set up an appointment please call 507.420.0195 or email me at dbegalka@hotmail.com.
Who I'd like to meet:
Dobro and Lap Steel players who are looking for something different to slide around on.
Hey! thanks for the add! Its very cool to have found you! I went to school in Redwing for luthiery, I went out to washington to work for Warmoth. But within the time of the travel there, business went south, so now Im back in Saint Peter, bartending. If you need any help, or if I could intern. I'd love some more experience! Thanks - Mathias
Check it out... Voi-vod... the outer limits .time warp .wrong way street
Two of the best songs ever.. and on the same album.. fuck dave, it is what we were doing and what we will continue to do... don't forget that voivod wrote most of their shit long distance....... -jefro
Hey Dave! Long time. I bike with coffee in Boulder alot and been playin lotsa guitar. Also in Boulder. Would love to have you work on my guitars again, just don't plan on bein in MN. Great to hear from you!
your picture of the ducati blue lapro as your profile pic gives me a boner. Listening to what comes out of them makes me smile like a child and think nasty thoughts like a teenager... someone told me the other day that he thought I looked like I was 26.. how cool is that?
I'll be around town on Friday all day. You gonna be at the shop? If so I gonna stop by to shwo you my dobro and play some of yours! Put New North in your top friends!
Thanks for the add, greatly appreciated. It's an honor to be a part of your family of friends here. We too welcome you aboard the FRQZ train with hopes you enjoy the ride! Don't be a stranger, stay in touch, keep us posted to upcoming gigs and adventures, post a performance video, and so on. Stay TUNED !
The Lapro samples are fricking awesome! I'm gonna have to stop over someday and try 'em out! Whats a guy gotta do to his hands on one of those capos you made. I'll send the money if you can send the product. Let me know what you think and keep up the good work!
The lapros look sweet! Someday I'll have to purchase one! Yes I use a beard capo for my dobro all the time. It seems ok and works fine. I know there is probably a better one out there. I would love to see what you have and try it! Next time I'm in kato I'll have to stop by.
