If you hadn't posted that I was going to, it's my favorite clip and one I watched a lot before I started playing.Jean-Sebastien Gauthier wrote:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcipRLzk4zM

I'm confused................
I heard some of that Speedy West 'stuff' but failed to see anything like a "STUTTER BUTTON" in play.
I noticed only the bar slamming affect coupled with use of the tone control.........

I love the little whisper from the show's host just after Buddy begins to play. Judging by the weird smile that follows I guess it was an instruction to keep looking at the camera and smile at the folks at home.
Back then you had to keep inane eye contact with the viewers. These days we are bombarded with reality shows where I wish they'd just keep their faces off the screen.
Thanks YouTube for reminding us how bad TV has become! (Rant over )

I was asked before to do this and I promise I will get to this properly one day. As a taster, basically it is a combined 8 string steel and a guitar. I don't have a photo to hand but I can do better. Check out this wonderful museum site:Darryl Hattenhauer wrote:Paul,
How about a thread on your Framus 8 + 6? I think the forum would be interested. Could you post pics?

As you can see, it has a clip-on knee rest to allow the guitar to be played in a sitting position (catches terribly on knitwear!)
Framus, like most German manufacturers of that era, never really got the pick-ups right and although it has a warm tone which is nice for Hawaiian music but for the guitar side, which shares the pickup, lacks top end.
Obviously here in Germany, Framus steels are easily found on eBay but this is the only example of this model that I've seen. I paid about $200 for it.

Good stuff Ray! Here is one of my favorite clips of Noel Boggs showing off his train sound effects on the fourth neck.
