Ah, the coffin-shaped guitar.....
When you bought it - to make no bones about it - I had a grave concern that it wouldn't play well.....
But you've undertaken to produce something dead good!

Cheers Ant. It is a beautifully made instrument and a work of art. I love it :)

absolutely great Tone. You're getting a great noise out of that axe. Just need a bit of dry ice... Cigar Box Goth anyone?

Brilliant stuff Tone, love it! XXX

Many thanks for all the encouraging messages. Greatly appreciated :)
@Norm - Good idea about a Cramps tune. I'll have to see what I can do. @Hollowbelly - and maybe do a performance in a graveyard ;)
@Bemuzic - The telephone mic is just an old phone with the ear-piece wired up as a mike. Needs a screened lead really cos it picks up too much noise from the computer but that's on my list of things to do.

Great, great, great!

I agree with Norm. KILLER sound from that axe! CHEERS!

WOW!!!love it all - the guitar sound, playing, song and the phone mic...did you make that??

Wicked. Nice groove. You should do a cover of a Cramps number with that axe.
