just saw the video on facebook. pretty fascinating how he's doing all the volume control with his elbow (!), and added an extra pedal to raise his Es to F since he can't have any knee levers on it.

I bet he misses lowering the Es, and originally I thought he'd have an elbow lever for that reason but his elbow is already occupied! :lol:

very cool to see how it's all put together. I hope I get to see him use it onstage!

Junior Brown! The Evel Kneivel of guitars!
A banjo, like a pet monkey, seems like a good idea at first.

You might say he's raised the bar for steel playing.....

I wonder if he could change the support for the 6-string so he could leave it up and reach under it to play steel, instead of having to keep putting it up and taking it down. Looks like maybe a small change might be sufficient to do that...

When you say "new" - isn't it this one that he's had since 2009?
