QUOTE=Scatter Lee;4007708]Not quit ready to start yet, Specks under my house are running around 2 lbs




I'm looking for some real lightweight swamp ash though

Man, that's not a "speck", that's a sac au lait, or crappie. A speck, or speckled trout is this:



Sac au lait, or cajun for "sack of milk" is a black perch, or "crappie". And yours is a very nice one. Some of the best eatin of all fish. :) :)

Hmm if he answers that he may be putting himself on the hook and might have to scale back on the build. I'm sure the net result will be amazing.

Marc Rutters tells me Spanish Cedar has a consistently pissed off tone. Wonderful for blues. I like that....

BTW, how $good$ a guitar is, is no indicator of how badly it can be played!
