Pam and I are back in greece while we tie up the loose ends of the house sale so my visits to chordie may be a bit hit and miss over the next few weeks as we will have to rely on wi fi in the bars cos I wont be switching our satellite internet back on for the short time we are here.

Yesterday I picked up an old Columbus guitar in ineed of some tlc its a strat type body with two humbuckers and a neck similar to a kramer or jackson .its in need of a full refurb but it plays and sounds ok I suspect it may be from the late 70s early 80s law suit era in which case its worth more than the pittance I paid for it.I havent checked for serial numbers inside yet.I'll post a pic later.But mean while if any one has any info I'd be greatful.

Topic: Cigar box guitar day (9 replies, posted in Guitars and accessories)
I went to Kendal in Cumbria today and found quite by chance in a book shop called The Works a cigar box guitar kit for 30 pounds ,so I bought one.Assembly consisted of stringing and fitting top nut and bridge ,it came with a glass slide ,a built in pick up and a backing cd.Down side was the neck was a little rough on the sides ,which I soon sorted and the cigarbox transfers are pvc stickers.
It sounds pretty good but feeds back a little at high volume. I may strip it down and decorate it my self later but for now its good.

Re: grave yard rocker (11 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Nicely written Phill and a very good solo ,for me I would have edited it to about three mins twenty but that just the sort of length I write a rock n roll song .Good content with a country feel.Well done again
