That LYS was made in about 1983 before the factory caught fire. It's a nice Guitar. X braced like a un-scalloped brace Martin. Large sized scale. Built like a tank.

 I want to add a pick up and get it playing. Need to do the inlay.

Finally retired now. Thinking about guitars again. I have projects to finish. I went to Bethlehem Pa for a inlay course. Need to get back into it. Finish My inlay projects. I have an old LYS. Old Godin from the 1980s. I refinished the top. Had water damage. Seems to still be straight. I want to upgrade the dots.  Maybe use the flower inlay or something. LYS means Lilly In French.  What iconic inlay from Canada would be appropriate

From what I am seeing, you are working on my tuning. I will eventually build a cigar box, with 4 strings tuned DBGD, because I'm a reformed banjo player, who plays tenor and plectrum guitars in that key. I also play dobro in two sets of G, but I have the most horrible time of transferring what I know fro the dobro to bottle neck guitar. changing from looking over the the fingerboard while it lying flat with that heavy bar, to a bottle neck vertically, really throws me off. I wack the thing on the frets, and it sounds like hell. Let me know what you have for trying to tame this. I have a real nice "Tenorcaster" that would work well for what I'm trying to accomplish. I'm guessing, I'd have to have a riser that jumps over the bridge to be able to play slide cleanly. Point me in the right direction!

Thanks Keni, Next build will have frets. I'm getting better w/the slide. I'm just an old no musical talent guy, but having fun.

Thanks Keni, Hope you also had a nice Thanksgiving. Love your videos especially busking in P'Town. Used to hang out there back in the '60's drinking wine and sleeping on the beach.

Question: I'm trying to play a 3 string fretless. Which of your videos would be best for a real beginner?

The gut harp strings are louder than nylon for the same diameter and tune up to higher pitches without excessive tension.
A full set of 33 strings for my Lyon & Healy Silhouette with 8 wound metal, 15 gut and 10 nylon is right at $260.00 plus shipping. I don't change them real often.
