More Porn


I know I'm in danger of turning this into some sort of XXX Cigar Box Guitar Porn site, but I err, just 'came across' this picture of an Oil Can Guitar made by Chicken Bone John, who I previously showed playing some excellent slide HERE.

(This blog isn't just thrown together,
apart from when it is.)

Which is a nice way of introducing the fact that the article on my first Cigar Box Guitar build, is now up and available to be poured over by scholars and acolytes alike, on the Guitar Tools Web Site.

An article that describes the fact that my CBG was not quite as nearly lovely as the Chicken man's.

You can read all about it HERE at DIY Dunce

DIY Dunce



It might seem odd, the fact that we have this Jooky place, making and (finally) selling some quite luverly amps and soon-to-be-seen effects and maybe not-quite-so-soon-to-be-seen-but-soon-enough, some handmade guitars, whilst at the same time I'm writing about how useless I am at DIY over on the quite excellent Guitar Tools web site.

It might seem weird, but there we are, the fact that Jooky is (to my mind) such a cool thing is only enhanced because when it comes to DIY I am indeed a technical cripple.

Jooky is cool despite me.
I can live with that.

Anyway, I haven't talked about the DIY Dunce column before so I thought I'd point you at it.

At the moment, it has a description of how I was guided thru the build of a guitar kit by my much-better-at-this-than-me six-year-old son, and in the New Year there should be new features on building a Cigar Box Guitar and some effects pedals, and who knows what else.

So have a look why don't you, it is OVER HERE.
