Messing with a volume pedal, delay, reverb and tremolo. A stranger knocking put an end to it. I was pissed at them at first but the hounds did their job. Sorry about the low sound quality. Fretless 4 string with a Don Goguen pickup.

I got so excited to see you posted, but the volume is not working. I don't think it is on my end. Fix, please. :smile:

4 string fretless Hubcap guitar built by Chris Carlson of Minnesota. In exchange for a few videos he made this for me.
62 Ford Falcon hubcap with a cake pan back, high output lipstick pickup, 24 inch scale. maple neck, scarfed headstock and a custom coat hook armrest.

Now it's time to match her up with the proper amp.

wharf rat very nice, from the other thread i thought you were talking about a 1962 Gretsch White Falcon.

Nice, wr have been waiting for you to post something since you got it.

Thanks RPM. Took a few days getting used to the feel and sound. Still learning to manipulate the volume pedal too. Tough to hold back sometimes.

wr, as always your playing sounds great. Think i could definitely hear a tonal quality different than the CBG's I liked it. Ryan was home for the weekend and we jammed on some 6 strings. Was a lot of fun, he showed me a lot of new stuff, mostly acoustic, but some old Allman Brothers electric jamming also, was a lot of fun.

Having fun with the hubcap guitar, volume pedal and new amp.



Meet the band. Takes me a few minutes to get the grove with them.

So soothing. I love your music. Thanks for posting. I was wondering where you have been. Miss your pups! I love watching them enjoy your music. You rock, wharf!
