Box in poor shape. What is now the top was formerly the inside of the top. Kind of a Maddog style headstock and leather hanger. Mixed with my painted relic and mismatched tuners style. Piezo.I forget who I first saw use a yard-stick for a fret board. But thanks to that builder. One more thing I wanted to try.Plays and sounds good. Sound hole on the player side.

I was going to run up that way late morning but I have to be back for one of the family X-mas's this afternoon. I'm not 100% sure what happens tomorrow as far as family X-mas schedule. It depends on if it snows tonight or not, if it snows I work :-( I'll shoot you a message.
I do like the looks of this git, the leather strap turned out nice! I see you even left the strands a long, I like that. I do that on all mine, I call it the Commanche Barn Swallow Tail.
Thanks, Pat. Got the leather shoe laces at Bomgaars as you suggested. Working till 5 on 12/24 and off 12/25. May make a run to my mom's in CB. You are welcome to stop by.
I like it John, looks good. Where'd you end up finding the leather and where did the yardstick come from?
Are you and Linda staying at home for the holidays or traveling? I may run up towards Harlan tomorrow, maybe stop in for a short visit and check out the White Owl first hand. I have to be back in Blair for family stuff in the afternoon.
