So, you think you're a kamikaze Luthier?

Y'all probably heard hat one of my all time heroes, J J Cale, passed away on Friday.

In addition to being an incredible player, singer and songwriter, J J was an inveterate tinkerer; he said, "I like to work on guitars. I'll go buy guitars and modify them — putting in new pickups and re-fretting them and so forth. It's kind of a hobby, really."

I'll bet not that any of y'all have seen pics of his long-time go-to axe, a "$50 Harmony" - If you think you've seen it all, think again.

Check out J J's work here

The link therein is worth scoping out too.

Thank you, John Weldon Cale. You've been an inspiration and a joy to me for on toward 40 years, and will be for the rest of my days.

Thanks a bunch for that Eben. Never heard about that guitar before. First adjustable neck?, was there a kitchen sink in there? And I was worried about trying "radical" changes in bracing systems and back wood selection , I know....it's an electric, well now it is!

Maybe I can make a link directly too it work - http://harmony.demont.net/jjcale.php
