Not just a uke virtuoso - had an early signature guitar...

Well I never. There's nothing like an old Gibson for playing ragtime. A snip at $7495  |

I found another one at $9500. Here's an extract from the particulars:
"SN: 966. Exquisite early example of a Roy Smeck Stage Deluxe converted to standard play by Roy McAlister, the master builder who has converted a number of Smecks (like 12 I think) for singer/songwriter Jackson Browne."

Andy P - thanks for reminding me of that one Andy. I need something new to teach to my primary school uke class and that looks just the thing. Or, on second thoughts perhaps I'll just stick to Michael Finnegan....  Keith

Didn't Roy start as a banjo player?

That Gibson sounds incredible!
I've seen that Roy Smeck video before. In some guitar playing aspects it's a really interesting one, it might be one of the first 'tapping' examples of sorts.
