Cooking with Gitty: Mark Standiford's Comacho
On my last trip down to Arkansas I made it a point to stop in and see Bill Jagitsch (a.k.a. "Bluesboy Jag") and compare notes. We ended up trading boxes and I got a Comacho from him that I thought would be good for Cooking with Gitty.
I made a couple miscalculations that weren't too disastrous. Like not notching the neck and it coming out almost level with the top. Fixed that by angling the neck.
It is a Yellow Camacho Box, Walnut and Maple neck with a figured Maple fretboard. From past and recent purchases from CB Gitty I used:
- 3 Chrome sealed Tuners from a 3L/3R set
- 3 String chrome Hardtail bridge
- Chrome enclosed single coil magnetic pickup
- 3 pack dimpled chrome ovoid curved-profile jack plate
It plays great and through an amp on a clean channel it sounds kinds like a Tele... Kinda bluesy through a dirty channel......
