You could get some idea of the sound by watching this
Agree that Skip is possibly the nicest guy you could talk to anywhere. I've got a deposit out for him to build me a two-point right now. I've been very casual in the emails, as not to rush him but the current mood is beyond eager. Shhh. Nobody tell him.
What I play
2021 Skip Kelley Two-Point
Eastwood 'Ricky'
Morgan Monroe RT-1E
Epiphone Genesis guitars
Various Basses
