Hey, The link doesn't work...Go to your "my photo's" page on flickr and then copy the page url at the top. Insert it here on the forum and it should work for ya. I did a search for you under paddycake52 and couldn't find you anywhere...I was going to post the link for ya. Peace!

Hi Guys & Dolls,
I finally 'got the picture' right here on this forum: You encouraged me, and I started my flickr photopage. Feel free to check out the guitars I built, customized and otherwise altered. More to come!

I might even upload a photo of myself one day, if someone takes a pleasing shot. Only mugshots available so far, I'm not at all photogenic.

Nice T-strat - I assume " Bulldog Custom Guitars" is you then?
Have I seen your photo in the Banner Elk post office?

Re: pictures.
Yeah you're right, Bulldog Custom Guitars is me.
Now you really got me worried about my photo in the Banner Elk post office! As far as I know you only get your photo displayed there if you're wanted by the authorities! Since you're from NC, I suppose you just wanna scare me heh? Last time I was in jail simply because I insulted a Texas State Trooper (20 years ago). Won't do that again...because these gentlemen are all super-nice, if you know what I mean.
Play on!
Re: pictures.
Yeah those policemen don't have much in the area of senses of humor. Many years ago i was showin' a sheriffs deputy one of my fingers that got stung by a yellow jacket. That got me a trip to the steel bar hilton?!?!?!
Very pretty guitars TennStrat. What exactly did you do to the Gretsch? Would you be able to convert a double cut-away Gretsch from righty to lefty?The only Gretsch I've seen available for leftys are the high$$ Chet Atkins models. Feel free to e-mail me with specifics.( ie price, timeline, etc.)
Peace and Guitars,

Re: pictures.
SouthPaw41L thanks for the kind words! Man, that bee sting must have hurt.
Ok, my 5120 Gretsch is the low-end Electromatic version, but sounds and looks very decent. Even the pickups are to my liking. These guitars come with a pot-ugly clear pickguard, which identifies them immediately as the bottom line Gretsch. I removed that pick guard, cleaned it with alcohol, covered the front of the guard with tape. Then I sprayed two thin, even layers of Gold spray paint (out of a can) onto the exposed back. Let it dry overnight, and voila, I had a decent looking pick guard.
Step 2: The F-holes on expensive Gretsch's are always "bound" with cream or white binding. This accentuates the f-hole. I cut thin strips of white binding material (measured the thickness of the top first), and used the recommended WELD-ON 16 glue to glue the binding in the f-holes. After the glue dried, I gently scraped the binding to be level with the top of the guitar. I also had the small trussrod cover (near the nut) engraved for $5 bucks with the model number "5120".
I do not have the Gretsch logo on the pick guard, but I'm also not trying to fool anyone into thinking that this is a Chet Atkins model.
Play on!
