A Guitar for Ice Skating (Vintage 1977 Guitorgan B35)
I confess I’ve not spent much of my life ice skating. Oh, I’ve been to ice skating rinks, but I don’t know, going around in circles on sore ankles just never turned me on. And there was always that queer, loud, ballparkish organ music in the foreground, if you’re lucky (or not), played by a live organist. I might have felt differently if the musician had been a guitarist. Or, rather, a Guitorganist!

Getting That Elmore James Sound On The Cheap!
So I have been getting into slide guitar quite a bit lately and have been diving into my blues collection for inspiration. One thing I noticed was the tone that guys like Elmore James and Lightning Hopkins were getting was not your typical electric guitar plugged into an amp an cranked. After a bit of research I realized that these guys were taking flat top acoustic guitars and mounting electric pickups on them to get their tone. So I set out to make a slide guitar that would pay homage to those blues artists of the past.
Phil Jones Pure Sound: Breaking New Ground In Our Own Back Yard
England native, Phil Jones is a natural born electronics/audio geek. Around the age of 13, he “borrowed” some magnets from school and hand wound a double bass pickup on a record player, ( He dug it out of a closet and showed me…amazing!). As a child he raided dumpsters in search of old tv’s and radios that he could dissect and turn into amplifiers. He even collected old tobacco tins, turning them into hand built stomp boxes!
Back Catalog Memories: 1960’s Domino Californian Electric Guitar
Not to be confused with the recently re-issued California Rebel by Eastwood Guitars, the Domino Californian came out a few years earlier. Imported to New York by Maurice Lipsky Music Co., these Japanese guitars were part of a series of models branded “Domino” throughout the 1960’s.
Back Catalog Memories: 1960’s Domino Beatle Bass Guitar

Back Catalog Memories: 1960’s Espana Violin Electric Guitar
If you Google this brand, 95% of the info is about acoustic guitars. But here is a very cool example of one of their electrics. Espana was a brand used by Buegeleisen & Jacobson of New York City, who imported guitars from Italy in the 1960’s. Although not this model, It appears these same guitars were imported into UK with the VOX brand.
