Scheerhorn guitars CD
We just got a note from Jimmy Ross, resophonic guitarist with Frances Mooney & Fontanna Sunset about a new recording project sure to perk up the ears of sliders everywhere.
There is a CD in the works designed to showcase the fine resophonic guitars made by Tim Scheerhorn, and featuring many of the pro players who use his guitars.
“I’m working with Tim and Randy Kohrs at Randy’s studio. The proposed players are Tim Scheerhorn, Randy Kohrs, Rob Ickes, Andy Hall, Lou Wamp, Justin Moses, Sally Van Meter, Billy Cardine, Mike Witcher, Bruce Boughton, Jimmy Stewart and myself.
Also on the recording will be a lap steel, 5-string banjo and a dreadnought guitar all built by Tim. There are about six tunes being worked on now and the rest after the hoildays. It should be released in early spring.”
