  • need my address dave,?

  • Uncle John, ya this is a real cover but there's no cone or spider under, just the wood top of a flattop guitar. Faux reso. After getting the 1935 Harmony Faux without a cover, i couldn't resist this one with it's cover still intact. I've now steel wooled the cover and tailpiece with 1000 grit but didn't take off the patina. It looks great with the texture of age.
  • Thanks Gitz, gotta love old metal. There's a print of the tailpiece on the reso cover from the years of aging. Also the grill cover left dots of dust growth on the wood below. This also printed onto the wood.
  • Abso....freakin...lutely....cool... ;}~

  • It is a real cover then?   Looks neat.   I kind of like it rusty and  rat rod style.
