@rpeek ~ Red of course, black ones have a much darker tone to them ! I need to send you pictures of my handmade 1-string electric slide guitar, I took the magnet from a screwdriver tip holder and wound old pickup wire around it and glued it to a popsicle stick piece, it’s REAL strong. The tuner is an eyelet hook and not too precise but it works. I also made a FIVE pickup ash Stratocaster and a guitar/bass mahogany doubleneck both with hand carved bodies. Got a banjo yesterday so I’m a newbie

That’s the best use for a fork i’ve seen yet, after seeing your videos i decided to make my own gas can banjo and was wonder where and how much could i get a banjo neck.
Thank You,

@joemamamatt Rarely, but yes and they’re not cheap.. I’ve only made 7 so far.. All numbered and signed. Number 6 is for sale, made on a one gallon syrup can. $250 + shipping.
