I'm with Todd here, no splice-y! Don't want to step on Todd's toes if you're getting wood from him but I have quite a few sets of Weiss-sized wood I can part with including flamed mahogany, mango, myr ...

The guy playing standard had what looked like Lollar Supro and Gold Foils (looked too nice to be vintage) and the slide guy had a Teisco/Lollar foil in the front and Harmony-style at the bridge. Good ...

Holy flying chips Batman, that is some cool stuff!

I just cringe when hear all this talk about re-fining and re-chroming. Even in rough (but playable) shape they are only original once....

A steel body single cone roundneck
A Walnut bodied single cone roundneck baritone
2 'Resolectrics'

Holy cow. It makes me feel like a chimp when I see someone that can play like that....actually there are probably some chimps that can play better than me. Laughing

Old news. If you need one give him a call.

Edit: I just saw that the vid was posted this year so maybe Ric has reared it's ugly head again. Hope not, I've built several guitars with them over the l ...

Stephen what makes you say that? I'm looking at one on my desk right now.

Gotta love the gold foils!!!!

If you can find the DeArmond with the row of screws down one side- those are the Cooder approved foils that people pay big bucks for!

Very nice. I can't hear that tune without thinking of the Blues Brothers in the elevator.

Because of the way they turned the cover you're forced to play way ahead of the bridge, which is sometimes where you want to play, but you can't play near the bridge at all. I also wonder how much not ...
