  Wow!  I'm honored!  I hadn't intended that they look so uniform....was going for more random look...oh well.   I started using the multi-hole, different size hole, shark fin shape thing on my roaster lid git.  I'm kinda hooked on it and I like the way it looks with my headstock design.

  Yup on the sound holes.  They look almost too good, like maybe the guitar came that way.  Good enough/ off enough to make us wonder.

  Thanks Unc.  Yeah, my wife said loudly, "WHERE'D you GET THAT?"  Pointing an accusing finger at the serving spoon!!!   But I got it at the good will store, so HA!

  Yup, I made everything but the original guitar.  You like the sound holes?

  Swenson, you are a trouble maker.  People are going to flood the thrift shops and good wills looking for roaster lids, serving spoons and tin cans.  Shoe horns too.  Prices on crappy old guitars on ebay will skyrocket with people wanting to license plate convert them.  People will be steel wooling perfectly good Martins and Gibsons and cutting roaster pan holes in the tops.
  

     You should have kept your crazy ideas in your head.  There will be chaos.  Change is BAD!

  LOVELY.  Almost too pretty to play.  The classic serving spoon tail piece.  (your wife is going to kick your ass.)  

  A lot of guitar snobs well tell you the best Minnesota license plate tone was from the 29s through 1931.  To my impaired hearing, the 41' is their equal.  This looks ideal for playing classical music while drinking fine champagne and gulping cheap hot dogs.  

   

  Did you do the sound holes?
