    Body is mahogany, maple & purpleheart. In these photos it's equipped with a neck I bought on eBay. I have a block of kingwood that will eventually become a neck when I find the time, and the nerve to attempt it. These pictures are kind of yellowish, I took them before I learned how to white...

  6. The MackCaster

  8. "Coco Bear" the Appalachian Mountain Dulcimer

    This past spring break we packed up our new camper and made the 10 hour drive from Chicago to Cosby, TN.

  10. The Charity "LCA SG Jr" Electric Guitar

    An annual running joke at my company is that due to overspending on the space, food, and booze, the social committee ran out of budget for entertainment. The solution, they say, is to form an all-volunteer, all-employee band! This year was no exception. The band, affectionately known as "LCA"...
