"Thanks UJ", there was always going to be a Frog Playing a CBG Build ever since I first seen the drawing a few years back, decided to do a "Bullfrog Blues" version because of that particular song, covered by many, my fave version is by Rory Gallagher, not sure what size the Swampies were, but this one is my standard build my own sized Box; 12" x 8" x 3" :-)
My-tee fine playing with fire on this one, Alan. I like the bullfrog burning and the whole thing. Somehow it reminds me a bit of a Swampy too - maybe in the wood tone and the proportions. Very cool.
