"I am playing the coo coo in open e. the cords that repeat are E7th, A, E, Hit a barred G (3rd fret) at the end and repeat untill the end of each half verse - resolve the end of each half verse with the same barred G (3rd fret). The barred G holds longer at the end of the verse and less at the half verse. the cords are available at my web site - Open E tuning cords."
that just refers to the size and shape of the neck. more round and thick rather than flat. this was somewhat common on older "cheap" guitar's that did not have a truss rod installed to adjust the relief or bow in the neck. these guitars have the relief planed or sanded into the necks. this one has a some what triangular shape to the neck profile. i hope that made sense...
actually it's unknown... my dad rebuilt it from a basket case- he had to install another back inside the old one- it was split top to bottom- the top was caved in and ruined- so he built a new top of engleman spruce- and braced it like a martin dread- the thing is a fire cracker- and now it's mine-
and i have been watching your clips for quite a while- a parlor guitar search get's right to your clips- 8^)
nice stuff-
i am currently building an aluminum and copper 5 string parlor-

Very cool song. I have never heard it played that way. Absolutely sweet guitar. Would you mind if I asked what chords you're playing there?

OK now, I'll try once more to leave my comment?!
One more mic to catch your Dad's vocals would have helped JD.
The mic's positioned for gee-tar worked just fine, but only when your Dad started singing, then they caught his voice much better.
