Lucky 13

Posted by Uncle John on December 13, 2020 at 5:51pm
Just strung this one up this afternoon and I am quite pleased with it.Coahoma County Mississippi is the home of Robert Johnson's cross roads and the HOME OF THE BLUES. And we all know what the blues led to.GDGB tuning (open G) using the center 4 strings from an electric 6 string set. 3 frets up high to make easy C, D and Em chords. Set up to slide easy and also do the finger chords and walks.Ho-made pine box. Oak neck and finger board. Gitty bucker in the neck position above the box.This is a Christmas gift for a young playing and building friend who recently turned 13. He likes my Iowa LPG and this is quite similar to that one.

    Thanks, Tee, Jock, Ambrose and Gary.   The kid loves it.  He will have to play without an amp until his Momma Claus gets him one for Christmas.
