Doing Things Wrong

Lake Street Dive

Here's a band that deserves a lot more attention:

David Letterman positively gushed over this band.
He's usually pretty snarky with the musical guest.
Too bad that video was taken down.

If you ask me, these guys are hogging up way too much talent, they should leave some for other people !!!

I have several of these necks and bodies roughed-out, and they feel much better than my first one, much better balanced. I knew that banjo neck would never play well, which is why I used a standard Fender profile on my first one. Banjos are made for picking. Intonation is one of those things where close is good enough, and with only 16 frets, I doubt it will ever be a problem. You'll be forever wiping smudges off that copper pickguard. I would shine it up and clear-coat it. Make a brass headstock tag and print out a waterslide decal to put on it. I posted the graphic above.
