on his varios trips to Tasmania.

Molonator he ordered.
Bo's unique style of playing left handed, but with
guitar strung right handed enables him to
play
right handed guitar & also, because the bass
string is on the bottom, he can play unique licks etc.

ED McGUIRL (pic right) a recording artist from Rhode Island,
USA says this "When I saw the Tasmanian Blackwood Tele-style Molonator,
I had to have it. It sounds great plugged in with a good mix
between the piezo and neck pickup,
and it can be played acoustically with
ample volume for practice and recording.
It gets attention from both players and listeners
attributable to the combination of looks and tone.
All serious bottleneck players should own a Molonator"
