Thanks, Roger. Regarding the banjos this is what I had watched, too. But I am wondering why he never took care to have a better banjo sound or instrument. I have had a very cheap italian tenor banjo since christmas 1982, and it sounds similar like his ones. He should have spent a bit money for a better banjo. I remember that Sean Moyses told me once that Lonnie asked to buy Sean´s banjo when Sean was member of Bob Kerr´s Whoopee Band = anytime between 1990 and 1996, but Sean refused to sell. I will ask Sean again because will see him tonight at JfK´s birthday session&party in Bonn tonight.

But please continue to discuss about the guitar matter! I will pay much attention and interest to it.

I guess you´re have probably heard right that it was his idea to have the guitar like it is.
