4-String Deltabucker

My latest 4-string canjo build consists of a mahogany neck and a Deltabucker pickup, with gold and brass fittings, and abalone-topped knobs on the volume and tone controls. The label on this film can (attached to the lid of the can on the back of the canjo) dates the can from a film job I shot in 1983 in Utah for the Jeremy Ranch Golf Course, which was designed by the late, great Arnold Palmer. The footage, processed by Alpha Cine Labs in Seattle, actually had a few shots of Mr. Palmer teeing off, and was used to promote the course in ad materials produced by Video West Productions of Salt Lake City, one of my clients.
