Sweet Mist Fine Cut Tobacco CTG (Cigar Tin Guitar). The tin was made for the Scotten-Dillon Tobacco Company of Detroit, Mich around the late 1800's to early 1900's. 18" scale, oak neck/heel/fretboard unibody, walnut fret dots, piezo under the bridge in the neckstock. I'm really pleased with the way this sounds amped up.

I'll take care when I run them thru the bandsaw, I have a table top disc/belt sander so I can remedy any screw ups I make on the saw. Being a somewhat disgruntled Dog (I stopped being stark raving Mad years ago) I kinda like bent and bowed too Dave :-/
Good deal Maddog, you'll like dem bones, dem bones, dem dry bones... Watch when you cut them, they have a wild grain that drags the bandsaw around a lot. My belt sander solves the curves and twists that happen, but i rather like the "natural" look of the bowed and bent ones and i like the grainy parts too. Guess i'm just an old dog.
Hey Maddog, my dogbone saddles and nuts come from a friend with Big Dogs. She get the bones from her backyard in Springtime when they surface from the snow. Her dogs have had their way with them and they are clean as can be. They work great in the bandsaw. I've used some very old bones found under our house which turned out rather soft though they look way cool. The fresh one year old bones work the best.
Yea John, the Shakeys had a piano player and a banjo player. They played old ragtime stuff, we used to sit at the window to the kitchen and watch the guys hand toss the pizza in the air. It was a Saturday night staple with our family when I was a youngster. I was not very old but remember it like it was yesterday.
I do remember Shakey's Pizza in Omaha. Seems like they had a Bill Bailey band or some such. Yeah, that banjer just would fit with that. How did you string or tune it?

No Dave, just got to sample any of Pat's builds that caught my eye. Lots did. This was clearly my fave.
I got to play this one Saturday night. Loud and bright and pretty and plays easy.

Do you polish them at all Dave?
Thanks for the tip Dave, my Father has a huge chocolate lab and he gets him bones from the butcher all the time so I have an outlet :-)
I'm on the hunt as we speak Dave :-)
