“Indy ‘62” – Tin Box License Plate Guitar (Lo-Tone Resonator)UNDERSIDE. The body is what I believe to be is a 1940-50’s “Dainty Dinah” toffee tin which I scuffed over with an abrasive foam pad to bring out the relief scroll-type design. The rusty license plate is 1962 vintage (same as me). Both items are naturally aged and a little rusty. Neck is poplar (stained and “aged”). Bridge/saddle is an old window screw lock beside two small calibre brass shell volume/tuner knobs. The pickup is a 7.6k Warman vintage S-coil. Tuning is Low D – Low A – Med D. Need to make sure I don’t get tetanus when playing.

Thanks Unc J. I was hoping it would be worth showing the back of this git, I like the patina of the box and have tried to compliment it with "aging" the neck.

Love this one, Bob. It looks old and much used. Great plate and box combo. Nice neck.
