"Thanks Doug", this is the 6th one using this type of Aluminium Steamer, and in my opinion, they do sound great, will repost a Vid from back in 2018, where I used a Baritone Scale Build, very similar to this one. :-)

This is a seriously cool looking guitar AGP! The steamer basket is a great find and you turned it into something special! Well done.

"Thanks UJ", love all my 13 Steamer Basket Builds, including this latest "Low Dob" (aka Low Dobro Tuning) build, lovely sounding tuning, but will have to find out how best to use it ;-)
