Comment by PauL on November 15, 2019 at 8:47am: Thanx Uncle John!!!

Grateful

Comment by PauL on November 15, 2019 at 8:45am: To Dave Lynas : This Pickwick box was a box for Pickwick tea bags.

Comment by PauL on November 15, 2019 at 8:44am: Thanx Dave Lynas !!

Appreciated!!

Have a good day

Comment by Uncle John on November 15, 2019 at 8:20am: I enjoy upgrading or improving a build. Maybe not right after it is done, but later on. Nice one, Paul.

Comment by Dave Lynas on November 15, 2019 at 6:08am: Nice upgrade PauL . Love to hear her Play. In Duluth Minn. there’s an old famous restaurant named Pickwick. I wonder if the box has something to do with that? Great idea to make double corses for the treble strings.

Comment by PauL on November 15, 2019 at 12:27am: Thanx to everyone that enjoyed the first video on this cbg.

(Cannot thanx everyone personally cause in my tablet this site does not work very well...)

Here the upgrade of this model.
