Thanks. It's my favorite build so far. A Frankenstein experiment that turned out really well. Been putting what I learned with this one into my current projects.

wharf rat, things are going good here. Glad to hear that you are feeling better.
Son has informed me he wants to build a diddley bo. I turned him onto this link and it sparked his interest. The guy in the video is a historian and a hell of a good blues musician and singer. Sonster wants to do this over Thanksgiving break from school, sounds like it should be fun. Towards the end of this video, the guy also does some playing on a 3 string CBG. His name is Scott Ainslie.

Sweet!! Mr. Ainslie sounds pretty cool. Bo's are so much fun and really straight forward to build.
I have those same two boxes if sonster wants them. Up to my knees in boxes of all sorts. Have the black one without the red "New Size" on it too. Trimmed with gold hardware they usually look and sound really good.
Let me know.

Thank you sir. Actually received this box from frequentflier. It was a little prettier before I got a hold of it.

Time to start playing again.

wharf rat, love the sound of your music, great video. Like the sound of your slide, wish i could play half as good as you do.

 

[frequentflier]

WoW! N-I-C-E!

Wow! Nice. Do you sell them?

 

[wharf rat]

RPM- Trust me, if I can do it anyone can. Thanks for the kind words.

Flier- Thank you much. Sorry I haven't been very social at the store lately. Don't think I need to explain.

huntr1- Glad you liked it. Yes, I do.

Paul playing a 4 string cigar box guitar at the 12-12-12 show had me floored.
Guitar was built by Matty Baratto out of California. From what I understand, he had no idea Paul was going to use it.
Matty had a spike in orders today.

 

[RPMDAD]

I thought i noticed that too from another photo of PM from the side though, so i wasn't quite positive.

 

[wharf rat]

Can't say I was blown away with the sound of it all, but Paul seemed to be getting down with it in a comfortable way.

Johnny Depp gave the Reso-fiddle and amp to him as a gift.
