Thanks Steve Smile
I'm just a hack player and you would not want to hear me play, but this one is going on tour shortly and there should be some recordings along with a video shoot.

Thanks all Smile .. I was kind of sad to have to ship her off, but it helps to know that she will be loved and bring joy for years to come.

The Duesenberg is a cool little unit and I had fun playing with it. Combined with the strait pull headstock, the camel bone nut worked great, camel bone is super hard and polishes up to be slippery as snot. I wanted to avoid having to use a roller nut if possible as they have the potential to suck a little tone and sustain.

Thanks Bert Smile ... I did not record anything myself, but I'll check with her owner to see if he got anything recorded from the Euro tour.
