Funny, I have used the ZT Lunchbox and its sister extension cabinet for the last 4 years or so. I play in a pop band and use it for lap steel and electric banjo. This little thing is very loud. ...

ZT Lunchbox. Small size, literally the size of a kid's lunchbox, but packs 200 SS watts. 6.5" diameter speaker. I use a Lunchbox extension cabinet, the same size. Sorta like a 13" equiva ...

I am surprised no one has brought up an old traditional E7 tuning:

Ulrich, do you come from a jazz guitar background? Real nice improvisation here. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Thanks for sharing. Makes me want to grab my jazz box and brush up on that tune.

Simply stunning!

Andy,

Myk, I loved this post. Wonderful eclectic music. As mentioned above, it is a theme song in search of a movie. I am envisioning all sorts of film noir possibilities.

I do have a question though ...

Doug, if folks don't realize the ingenious design of the leg socket system, I can easily see why one would be confused. Why is it when it comes to musical instruments, the oldest basic designs prove ...
