These three stemmed from an acquisition of back issues of Cannabis Culture and High Times magazines I purchased from the importers just as they became an illegal import into Australia. (can you believe it?) The first one I made was the classical with a 12 inch speaker and featuring the Dutch bikini godess pictured below. It has a rich and bassy sound but later developed an annoyingly hard to locate buzz which I haven't managed to fix yet.

The second is made from a small steel string with an eight inch speaker and has a tight full tone which I attribute to the high quality cone I got from a burned out Selenium driver. I'm really happy with how the artwork for this one came out. It sat in the back of the Hemp Embassy in Nimbin wowsing tourists and getting plucked occasionally. It also hung in the Happy High Herb shop where it eventually sold for $400 as an engagement present from a lovely English lass for her talented bluegrass pluckin' beau (had to give them a good deal - so romantic!)

The third is the best sounding cone so far (also a 12") in a classical guitar body) and, according to Nell. the nicest looking one too. I have glued the speaker surround directly onto the top for this one, a recent innovation, and it works well and saves some weight.

Here is a pic of the very happy customer Steve at home in the U.K. who plays great bluegrass fingerpicking style so well suited to the sound of this little beastie.
