I’m pleased to announce the birth of Tequila, a ten pound, glowing hunk of spit and vinegar.  She sings like an angel, screams like a banshee, and cries like a baby.  Perfect on all counts.  Details to follow.

    Wow, really sweet. Congratulations!

    Now you’ll need to add a generator to that Melonseed when you come back east.

      Thanks Jane. I thought you would appreciate it. Yes on the maple top. Mahogany body and neck. Rosewood fingerboard. I just got the intonation and action set, so it is nice a playable now. Amazing how a tiny shift in the saddles makes a huge difference in the sound. I’ll see if I can run the amp into my computer and get some sound posted. I might have to bring a friend over who actually knows what he is doing!
