    That's beautiful. Love the ancient plate and aged neck. Wow!

    Thanks Chris.  A good friend gave me a matching set of plates.  I'm not sure yet whether I will put the other plate on the back or use a sheet of luan and then build a second, similar guitar.

    I like this Eric! It looks like something built 100 years ago!

    Debut song on this guitar will be "Ride On", an AC/DC tune from Who Made Who and the Maximum Overdrive movie soundtrack.

    We don't need no shiny shit up in here!  This one has "natural" patina.  83 years of slowly growing mojo.

    You'd have to play rock and rockabilly on this one.   I kind of like it.   We don't need not shiny shit.
