At 1:04am on November 11, 2013, Dave Lynas said…: Wow JP, that irrigation pipe guitar is beautiful. You did a fabulous job of slicking it out. Looks like a motor cycle tank or space item. What did you polish it with? I'm trying to find a good polish for old guitar finishes.

At 3:33am on September 8, 2013, Dave Lynas said…: Thanks JP, you have a great day as well. I'll be fussing with a Speed Demon today. Making a bridge and setting the neck. The actions going down... Dave

At 11:32pm on September 7, 2013, Dave Lynas said…: Hey JP, nice banjo. I'm a 4 stringer. I've got a nice Ida banjo (5 string) sitting next to me. I don't play it much. I've got it's resonator to fix. Guess i'm not interested in one, though yours looks very good. Thanks for going to the trouble of sending good photos. .... Dave

At 10:35am on May 6, 2013, mike anderson Blues Box Guitars said…: looks like you've been busy!

At 5:58pm on May 3, 2013, Dave Lynas said…: Hey JP, just lost my comment back about the Rocket. Opps. Anyhoo, those Rockets are pricey. I've been looking close and they always go for $500 and up to $850. I'll keep looking for the basket case to fuss with. Got to be careful though. There is a reissue that looks just like the old ones. I want a relic. Tough to know for sure on ebay....

At 5:53pm on May 3, 2013, Dave Lynas said…: Ya those Rockets are pricey. I've been watching them go for from 500$ to 800 regularly. There are new Rockets out there too. Reissues. They go for $500. You'd need to be careful to be sure it's a relic. I just love their look. Not the 3 pickup version. One or two would be enough for me. I'll keep looking till the basket case Rocket appears.

At 3:48am on February 25, 2013, The Squid said…: hey man. too many picks fer def! plus i ramble thru and dont see anything new, unlike yours at the mo. inventive and different! nice job man. glad someones not in the same damned box as every one else!

At 5:37pm on February 17, 2013, Dave Lynas said…: Hi JP. Thanks for the comments about too many listings in one Photo bomb of a million of the same old thing. I love to see all the inventive stuff folks are doing, not ten views of each part of the new guit box. Now i just troll through the photo listings till i see something interesting and then open that listing and make a comment. I think a smaller limit per day would be a help.

At 11:29pm on January 22, 2013, Goose Hollow Hillbillies said…: Your probably right mate!

At 1:58am on January 21, 2013, Michael Fred Johnson said…: Came to your page to reply to your comment and spotted your hand beaten reso. Did something similar with my "coppertop" and was thinking along similar lines for no.27

At 3:36pm on January 18, 2013, Dave Lynas said…: Hey JP, thanks for the kind comments. I've tried to reply to your messages, but they won't take. Don't know what's wrong with the system (or me). So i'm going right to your page to comment back. The inside out guit came out so nice, i'll be looking for more troubled old gals to try stuff like this. I like the clean look of many of the builders on CBN, but i love the crusty ones more. And they fit my abilities. ..... Dave

At 11:02am on December 31, 2012, Mark Bridge said…: I'm making a few "free lesson" videos and putting them on YouTube which helps bring people into the website. I'm heading over to Fargo on thursday with another music teacher to check on teaching at Schmitt Music - they don't have a banjo teacher there. Have a happy New Year!!
