Soybean Harvest

This year's soybean crop has been a pill to get out of the field and into the hopper. Rain chances continue on weekly, if not daily, and the crop requires at least a 3 day drying period after a rain to begin harvest. However, here is a bit of video taken last week of one of the few days we've been able to harvest!!!

New Picture Tidbit

These are some color photos that my wife took from our Heifer International jazz auction.

The photograph on the left is of the cigar box that we auctioned, along with the auction sheet, the Cigar Box Amplifier, and a short paragraph telling about guitar.

The photograph on the right is of my father and my self standing behind the guitar/amp.

2008 CBG Makes Appearance!!!

Hello friends and fans, Ol'Dirty Possum here again showing off a CBG. This video features our 2nd or 3rd CBG ever built. This tasty little bit is tuned like the bottom three strings of a banjo--featuring electric guitar strings, a red oak neck, brass hardware, and cheap wooden bridge and nut--this piezoelectrified jewl screams CBG. This proto-guitar helped us here at LNS Lutherie to get the hang of building, and we wanted to foward this along to you. ENJOY!

Ferocious Four-string Swamp Stick

Hello all loyal viewers! Ol'Dirty Possum is back with a new CBG Video. It's a rainy day on the farm and we just finished our first 4 string CBG. This ferocious piece of sweetness is ready to roar into action, featuring brass hardware, deer antler nut, black walnut bridge and fretboard, and a Punch cigar box. The Ol'Possum plays through a previously mentioned A` Fuente Cigar box amp and lets the tunes make their way. We hope you enjoy and find inspiration in this video of our new Ferocious Four-string Swamp Stick.
