Thanks 'UJ' yes the pan (and the whole Guitar) looks good, but! unfortunately it doesn't sound as good as it looks, I think I might have to go with some lighter strings???
The pan is 1 of 2 I bought from a charity shop, the other one is on build AGP #158, which sounds just fine, they are fairly thick gauge stainless steel, but probably a little too heavy for the Dobro sound I was after on AGP #162.
