Lyons' Pick Diddley - gift horse in kit form

Posted by Uncle John on January 3, 2016 at 4:24pm
Can you see the burned bottle cap decoration on the top? I like it.A gift horse in kit form. Pick thought this box suited me and he was right. He was shipping a Swampy to Chris Lyons, who lives 50 miles from me, and sent the box along for me.Chris and I got together and formed a friendship and I got the box. Later, on a visit to my place, Chris brought me the old board that was used for the neck. Hence the Lyons' Pick name.This is a great sounding diddley unplugged. Wow. Plugged in it is okay. Not bad. Not great. Disc piezo.The action suits me. I can finger or slide.The old box, the gifts from 2 friends and of course the fact that it plays and sounds nice - puts a smile on this homely old face! Thanks to Pick and Chris.

    Thanks, guys.   Pick tells me the box was from you to begin with, Chris.  But I like the Lyons Pick name and I an sticking to it.
