Great stuff! I'm flashing back to th "Sons of the Pioneers." Very Happy

A friend of mine, Johnny Green, did the same thing with a dumpster find. It sounds great and he plays it all the time. I prefer the sound to the metal body guitars.

This is a virtuoso perfrmance. Stunning. Thanks. Whoa!

Thanks Andy, i'll be "digging" through those. Very Happy

For me, "Leah" is part of a genre, and for want of a better term, I call it South Seas/Exotica, including such works as "Bali Hai," "Adventures In Paradise," "Pagan ...

Nice find. I am sure you will get knowledgeable suggestions on the PU here. A custom fretboard would be no big deal. Very Happy

Nice Medley, James. Also, I have often thought that being able to keep one's boat afloat, in a boat house, as the height of luxury. Very Happy

The lightning bolt sound holes are super-cool!

Wow! Nice guitar! Very Happy

Love it! That bass line really works. Very Happy
