Notes
Uncle Larry plays some flat top and gets into some heavy VCB

The fine work that has been performed on this old basket case Gibson SJ was done by Nathan Golliher at Gruhn Guitars in Nashville

He is AMAZING and I highly recommend him for any of your acoustic repair needs

Check out this old track if you wanna hear some vintage Uncle Larry…I was probably 25 when I did this record…it was pretty crude but you can hear all the Larryisms
