Comment by Derek Rose on May 31, 2020 at 1:53pm: They are very versatile. I do a lot of folky, folk-rock stuff, some prog and classic rock, on both 3's, 4's and good ol' 6's. A time and place for each. :) Just have fun with 'em!

Comment by Derek Rose on May 31, 2020 at 1:01pm: Cool, Marcus. these are fun instruments and lots of things to experiment with.

Comment by Derek Rose on May 31, 2020 at 12:50pm: Thank you Marcus! I left the heater coils in and they do add some "spring" reverb acoustically, which the mic may have caught, and I am plugged into the micro cube amp. I like the reverb and a little chorus from this little amp. Thanks again!

Comment by Derek Rose on May 30, 2020 at 2:33am: Thank you, Denbo! The lyrics were popping into my head while on my daily walk with our dog (Mitch). The 3 string and music fell in pretty quickly from the lyrics. I wish more of 'em came this easy.

Comment by Derek Rose on May 30, 2020 at 2:20am: Thank you, Alan. Not much of a lint problem now! Ha! :) But after I had repaired it several times and kept it going for 18 years or so, it was ready for a 3rd motor, so time for it to go. My day job is a product engineer for a thermostat company and I had a feeling the heater box and duct would be a "cool" project for a guitar. Otherwise I was going to rig it to a fan to heat my basement workshop area, but then didn't want to burn down the house from that 5400 watts! hehe Thanks!

Comment by Derek Rose on May 30, 2020 at 2:07am: Thank you Nancy. I figured the dryer parts would be fun to make into a guitar so I stripped our old dryer before hauling it away. :)

Comment by Derek Rose on May 30, 2020 at 2:05am: Thank you for the kind comments, Andries, much appreciated!

Comment by Derek Rose on May 30, 2020 at 2:04am: Thank you, John. Came up with most of the lyrics while I was out for a walk.

Comment by Derek Rose on May 30, 2020 at 2:03am: Thank you Danny, I like the deep sound from this thing too.

Comment by AGP # on May 29, 2020 at 2:52pm: As always nice Guitar playing and great Vocals, does the Dryer have a problem with Lint in the filter ??? :-D
