Blacky is a fave and you may have heard her in videos. She has a Gitty bass mag pup and a nice low roar. Cigar band fret markers on both of these.The 5 ton git was a diddley bow 1 string that did not get much attention. Converted to a GDGB (open G) with an MGB humbucker. Very warm tone plugged in and surprisingly useful acoustic tone and volume.Both are tuned GDGB and both have 3 frets so I can do some clean finger chords and simple picking and then slide on up the neck.These two are keepers, beaters and players.

    Thanks, Alan.  It sounds like you have a lot on your plate.

    A Stunning Pair of Iowanian Lpg's 'UJ', must be that time of the year, just finished a Tin Plate build and have two Lpg size plates of my favourite pastime, waiting in my shed to morph into Geetars  :-D

    Whats not to like? Both excellent.

    Thanks, guys.  The three fret thing works good for me.

    Very nice representations of my good neighbors to the east :-)

    Beautiful pair Uncle John. I see you quit Diddling around. I like the few fret option.

    Thanks, Kirk.  I like it too.  It's an old idea and not mine, but I do like the look and history.

    Great idea, with the fret markers.
