Thank Mr. Pick!

 

These are my go to instruments.

   I walk towards the wall and decide when I get there.

They are all made by me; - reason enuff for a why.

   Strings vary from a deep EBe, through mostly GDgs, a couple DAds. three 4 strings including 2 CBUkes.

   The Mickey Mouse banjo gets good remarks from the Ladies. 'nother reason.

nice  stash  ;-)

Yup.   That is the way to decorate.  Playable art.  I do the same.

Now that's what walls should be used for, a "Wall of Fame" in our minds, but probably a "Wall of Infamy" in the minds of our wives.

Now that's what walls should be used for !!!, a ''Wall of Fame'' in our minds, but probably ''A Wall of Infamy'' in the minds of our wives. A nice looking collection of your own builds.

Wow!!!

Nice collection

Why Do You Build Um

They ask Me why do you build um ___ Why do you play um____ and why you collect ____them little Guitars

When you could just go out ____ and buy you one____I say there's just something ___

a bought playing one ____that you built with you own two hands____ that brings satisfaction____

can't be bought____ you can only get it____ by building one____ with yo own two hands

Chorus

Now some likes um simple ____ Old and Relic looking _____

Others likes um shiny____ and bright

The One thing We all have in common____ is We just love ____ building um___Playing um___ and collecting um___ yea We do

The wife says I have to many____ but I know shes just kidding____

She just loves when I go out____ to My old Shed ___ Get's Me out of her hair____ for a little while

shes knows it keeps be out of trouble____ and I'm just having fun_

when I get out My tools____ and start building Me____ another one____

Repeat chorus

Now some likes um simple___ Old and Relic looking____

Others likes um shiny____ and bright

the One thing We all have in common____ is We just love building um

Playing um _____ and collecting um

Ending

There's just something____ bought building um_____with yo own two hands____

That brings satisfaction_____ can't be bought____ you can only get it____

by building one___ with yo own____two hands

That's Why We build um___ um that's why We play um____ and that'why We collecting ____ Um

Instrumental ad lib speaking and fade

By James o Lunsford For My friend Uncle John and all our friends

There sure Has been some great Collections shown on this post 

My tee fine and my tee true James O.   I can't stop building.  

These are my two favorites. The Danelectro convertible has been with me my entire life and I love it so much that I had to build a tenor ukulele version.  Out of the 30 instruments I've built so far, the Dano uke sounds and plays the best.

That said and we know that you build great stuff.   High class players.
