Mike Hollon Busted out a couple of his Maddog builds for his show yesterday out in Ashville, North Carolina. Mike says he uses both his Washboard and License Plate CBG's for most every show. I built the License Plate Guitar for Mike back in 2013 and the Washboard in 2018. Glad to see they're both holding up and makin' music.
