its barefoot cajuns db custom

none ,bestillroy they all sold 4 mounths ago, your neck is milled sitting on the bench for two weeks waiting for the box you were sending .db.

Thanks for the invite. Yes, I wrote that song and will try to post it where you requested.

yep that flamingo tin do sound big,its made in holland and i,m a gonna guess its from the 50,s 0r 60,s cause its kinda thick metal and has a real tight seam on one of the corners. thanks fer yer comments bestillroy.

I actually drew it out full scale, side view. This helped to not only get the rake, but also to determine the height of biscuit. So essentially the height of the biscuit is relative to the rake which is determined by calcumalatin' clearance over the cover of the cone.
I pretty much wung it.....

If you'll notice I had to put the neck at quite an angle to get the strings to clear the top of the chicken feeder reso cover. That might explain the height difference. The action, I think, is perfect for slide as well as for being able to play regular. But all in all, it's pretty comfortable to play, just gotta get to learnin'. Put it this way, I played drums for about fifteen years and only played in front of someone maybe 5 times, pretty shy I suppose.

I know, my previous six stringer was for a blues musician and I had a video of him playing it at a small show, but, I didn't feel he was at his best and I didn't want to put the video out. As for my latest build, which is my own personal guitar, sounds great, it's just that I really suck at playing. Maybe I'll just do what I can on it and leave it to y'alls imagination as to what a REAL guitar player could do with it. My nephew had promised me a video of a build I did for him, a three stringer VSG box, but he's been pretty busy lately. Soon man, soon.

Thanks for the invite...love what you and all the other musicians are doing here!

Your so lucky that I ain`t their,thinkin` I coud get him with my flyrod. UR makin` me DROOL.

Thank you beStillroy for your comment. Ya, sometimes you just got to explode! Enjoy.

Thanks for the kind words!

Thanks Roy. It always amazes me too how mechanical finger movement gets turned into sound. Truly magical stuff even in a time of high technology. I guess we are not going to be surpassed by machines anytime soon. LOL BTW: Ya, Nothing better than friends, pizza, beer, and an evening of "making" music. Enjoy.

I can see why you asked but no - it's a print of a painting by Adolph Gottlieb

Hi there - thanks for your coment on my latest. That guitar was a solid body thing I made from an old tulipwood chopping board with a mandolin coil pickup - I hardly ever play it and I'm beginning to wonder why!

howdy man,just popped in ta answer a few questions if i can. about the mr charutos resonator,when i did the vid i had just got it strung up,so i havent added frets yet but i used a martin reject fretboard that is slotted and ready to put frets in it, so i will put frets in it. another thing i,m a gonna do is add a piezo right under the bridge and maybe even add a mag pup to it when i get some in. i have some being custom made for me by my nephew in louisiana. today i got a cool box in the mail and i,m thinking of doing another resonator similar to the mr charutos but with a 3 string configuration but with a different layout on the hole pattern on the top of the box but also with the other half of that toaster i cut up for the resonator plate. ohhhhhhh i forgot to tell ya i used a side wall from a toaster that was chrome plated for the resonator plate in the mr charutos cigar box. it also has an adjustable neck with a set screw to lower or raise the action of the strings. talk wit ya more later sir,take care.

thanks for posting your vid as a video response on mine...great vid : -)
