Just spotted your H44. I managed to bag a mint reissue on Ebay. It's a beautiful little guitar - sustains for a week. You're gonna enjoy that little beauty when you've rebuilt it.
Thankyou kindly Richard!....:-)such kind words...it made me laugh to read that cause i was sitting here lamenting my blog, 2 posts in two years,,HA.....I've no time for the network factor,....all i can do to keep up with youtube, and this site, that's it!;-) AND make music in between....most days find me almost too busy to do that, but I manage to play a little, everyday, even if only a strum or two....it is my "even keel"..had a run in with a rattler and there is a song in that as well as all the campaign ballyhoo.......hehehe,
..I work with a friend in France we bake up songs that can be heard at channel user Francifornia at YT as well, if you have time to check that, a diff sound....I act as lyricist and singer, not player..which is fun. my puter bit the dust Saturday, I'm hoping I did not lose lyrics, my bro is trying to pump life back into it, and thereby rescue it a bit...are you in the high desert in WA? loved seeing the rolling brown hills as a kid.. lived in Salem Or for awhile, on my G'folks cherry farm..Bliss for a kid...!!.again--many thanks--kind words come along like yours and i remember my ditties bring a smile not just to me, and THAT is what I set out to do when I share em, more often than not..

Thanks for the tip on the volume pedal for the lap steel. I added a pot that rolls one of the pickup's coils to ground - kinda like a variable coil cut. I definitely want to get a volume pedal. By the way - do you mind if I use your domino bridge idea on some of my builds? Those things are sharp as a tack!!! See Ya 'round
Thanks for the kind words, Richard. These are the coolest comments I've ever had. I've always been a fan of the Chet Atkins, Doc Watson, Merle Travis sound and have been working on applying it to a three-string CBG. Your feedback has done got me fired up and motivated - thanks back at you! Stay in touch.
Ya, today with ebay, it is possible like never before to see so many vintage instruments for sale. I definitely have a romance going on with vintage guitars. It is very empowering to be able to play the exact instrument that was available to the original Blues masters of the 1920 /30s. Thank you for your friendship. Enjoy.
