I just bought an old, late '50s-early '60s Silvertone banjo from a junk store. Missing tailpiece, bridge, nut , 5th tuner and a couple of frets, but the resonator seems to be in good shape. I know it's just a crappy Silvertone, but it'd be my first…Continue

OK, so Christmas Eve 2010, I picked up a f-hole parlor size guitar off Craig's List. It was part of a "bundle" of 6 instruments. Pictures being what they are, I was disappointed with it, but got it as part of the deal. It seems to be 1930ish,…Continue

Nothing hardarse about it mate, been one of the best projects ever! Keep it going through to next year and every year, I think the consensus will agree with me but entries for next time will be tenfold making it even tougher to win! The taking part is everything so keep them coming lads and well done all. Chris. :)

My Lazarused Banjo is 90% complete but sadly, I'll miss the deadline. A good friend passed away yesterday so I've got other 11th hour obligations. The rest of these entries look outstanding. This was a cool challenge. The artistry and innovation you guys bring to the table absolutely blows my mind.

ok, I can only load pics on the main page, is that the way 2 go or can they be loaded here?
