Subject: RE: Bacon and daySenorita? From: GUEST,nemerov Date: 15 Jan 04 - 10:34 AM I have one; from the 40s I guess. They are great, funky blues & old-time guitars. Regal made them for B&D who were banjo makers. Be warned, though, the necks are very, very large V-shape. I don't play mine much--I use a Recording King when I need to play a 16" jumbo. The neck on the RK is slightly better for me. I'm in middle Tennessee; if you're in the area you're welcome to come play--see what you think. bruce nemerov |
Subject: RE: Bacon and daySenorita? From: GUEST,snagger Date: 15 Jan 04 - 09:16 PM Bruce, I`m very interested in the guitar. I live in Montana, but I could arrange to check it out in May. I will be traveling x-country to my daughter`s college graduation. I would love to give it a play. If you`re thinking of selling or trading it before that time please contact me.

Subject: RE: Bacon and daySenorita? From: GUEST,Bungalow Kev Date: 21 Mar 06 - 11:51 PM I recently read Bruce Nemerov's post on his B&D guitar plus a fellow whose favorite guitar is his S6 H. If any of these 2 guys reads this I would appreciate a reply . I have a wonderful s2H and have also been looking to buy a early 30's vintage s7 like John faheys guitar. I also would like to connect with B&D guitar owners so we can keep in touch. Please feel free to post and perhaps aid in connecting a small grouip of B&D guitar fans. Thanks Kev |

Subject: RE: Bacon and Day Senorita? From: GUEST,bnemerov Date: 08 Apr 06 - 01:57 PM Kevin-- just stumbled across this thread revival. I haven't had the time to monitor mudcat last year or two. As a former Bay Area musician and hanger-out at Lundbergs' when I lived in Berkeley (a long time ago), I'd guess we know some of the same people. I've been in Tennessee for quite a while, though I do get out to the coast a couple times a year. And I still have the B&D; though it sits in the closet, mostly. Regards, Bruce Nemerov |
