I’ve picked up a couple of McNally Strumsticks along the journey.
The longer one with the abalone inlay around the soundhole is the D-33 Grand Strumstick. The top is Koa.
The shorter one is the G-29 with a spruce top.
The thing about these strum sticks is that you simply can’t play a wrong note. It’s the way the frets are setup.
Both sound like a cross between a mandolin and a banjo.
You're seeing the result of a lifelong obsession (addiction?) with guitars and gear. From an invention, to acoustic guitars, to guitars I've built, to some of the gear that's accumulated, there's a lot of it here...Music is the biggest part of my life outside my family. If you've read this far, you probably feel the same way I do about guitar and music.... I hope you enjoy the inventory of sorts!
