Made from an immigrant suit case, pot lid reso cover, biscuit cone, sink snares, mahogany neck through, mahogany blocks, walnut fingerboard to be fretted. The lid will open for electronics installation.

I'm liking it too Uncle. It has the look of your big box reso, but without enamel. I spent all morning fretting. 14 of em. I'm getting a little better at it. Using Gitty thin medium frets. I think I've got the right sized saw (had it all along). It's a cheap Irwin, but it makes a little wider slot than my Exacto. I screwed up a couple experimenting but put in new frets and super glue. Cheating. Oh well.
Oh gees, Dave. I looked at that full size to read the lid better. It is a pot lid. And a real resonator beneath it. That has so much mojo it may be illegal in a lot of states. Bad ass good so far.
