Strange Times

Awesome cover, and an even more awesome guitar. I love seeing/hearing instruments that are either homemade or seem like they could be.

@stackshot.. Thank ya, sir! It is the A, D, & G strings, tuned G, D, G. I put some fresh strings on it a couple of days ago. When I bought it, it had acoustic strings. But this time, and probably from now on, im gona stick to the Beefy Ernie Ball 12 gauge strings I have on it now.

'ssippi, you just made my morning. That shit was sick dude! Great tone, and I love the cigar box, those things just looks backwoods-badass. Well played sir!
