Flatfoot Johnny: September 2012

In my old wooden cabin up in the hills of south east London I make banjos, canjos, cigarbox guitars and other things that go twang. Every instrument is fully hand made in the traditional way with a minimal use of power tools and usually using reclaimed timber (that way i can use exotic hard woods and sleep well at night). So if you are interested in buying a high quality unique instrument keep checking here or contact me if you would like to commission something. flatfootjohnny@hotmail.com

2 new CBGs

I recently finished this couple of 3 stringers.

Some fancy heel carving

Stained Zebrano freatboard and peghead overlay

Paduak Freatboard and peg head overlay ... This one is for sale!! the one above is already sold..

Both have walnut saddles with fretwire bridge and piezo pickups

Yesterday I went to the International Banjo Day organised by the Barker band in London... what a great day/night with tons of great music. here are a few photos (as you can probably tell i spent pretty much the whole day/night sprawled on the sofa in front of the stage... drinking ale. hence the photos are all from the same spot)
