We’re lucky our fingers have minds of there own Denbo, otherwise it would be like hearing cats. Psycho cats at that. I like pinkie sliding. Shane Speal is to Blame. But any finger will do.

Thanks Maddog. I like building the box from scratch. You can pick good wood.

i guess I better look up Walking Man eh Uncle?

Big loud and proud! Well done DL!

It does have elements like in Seasick Steve's Walking Man.  But it's all your own.   You get the big sound from that box without it being so bulky from side to side.

Thanks Clarky. I don’t think I can build any better. This one is truely fun to play.

I like this a lot Dave, what a great sounding guitar.  Reminds me of Walking Man by Seasick Steve.

Andries. It’s not a short scale. 25 1/2 inch scale. The painting was scanned and printed on Spruce at my printer here in Duluth. Shel/Don Repro Centre. They did a great job. I want to try Gitty on the next painting guitar. I’ll be adding a Wicked Bucker when it arrives from Gitty. And this isn’t Red Dog. It’s Smiling Dog Guitar.

Thanks Uncle John, Bones, Andries, AGP, Jim, Brian, Pick, Buggy. I’ve been playin in my rocker at home. It sounds as good as the big hall sound. Very resonant and loud. Played soft the notes are clear and bright. My best acoustic yet. Might not need the Wicked One, but might have to add it when it comes.

AGP, what a lovely new Baby you have there. You and the missuz must be so proud. A rather toothy youth, one might add. :*P

That sounds so warm, good and room filling.  Great build and picking and sliding.    Love the S thetics on this git.
