Nice job, Fred! Your enthusiasm for these cool old instruments came through loud and clear and you gave people much useful information. Thanks for taking time to record this.

Great job Fred. I own two of the not so cheap guitars anymore. $200 for the first and $240 for a very nice one owner with original strings and no work necessary to play. Check out my "First Time Out" post. I also use flat wound strings to eliminate some of the string noise I heard on your video Good luck.

Thanks everyone for your nice comments - I'm glad you enjoyed the clip!

Patrick, the tunings are open C (CGCEGC), Emaj7 (EG#BEbG#B - "dobro tuning" in E with a major seventh) and Bmaj7 (BF#BEbBbB - a tuning I picked up from Christiaan Oyens).

Cheers,

Fred
