Shake Rattle & Roll

[Dennis in Anola]

Anyone keep a rattle snake tail in their guitar? I have one that I got from a friend in El Cajon California after he shot a snake that was living under his trailer. I just may put it into my J185.

Dennis - you'll have to write up a tutorial on that once it's done..

It is funny for the first time ever this Saturday I ran into a blue grass guitar player with a 37 Martin that had rattle snake tail. He also has a winery 37 cellars, which was the real reason of my visit.

You lucky guys,

We don't have winecellars and no rattlesnakes. Da**, a set of clogs don't fit though the soundhole.

All of my picks end up in the guitar when my 3 year old is around. They rattle a bit.

By tradition, Rattles are only allowed if clipped from the tail of a rattler found inside the guitar..the morning after a summers night out pickin', drinkin' Fruit Jar "Kool aid" and dancin' in the moonlight along the Chattahoochee :>)
(Just funnin'...but I don't know, it COULD be true...I stayed at Holiday Inn last night!)
