The paper covered masonite top on this box didn't seem like a good candidate for an acoustic instrument so I decided on making it my first electric type instrument. Now I gotta learn some more blues!

  Nice lonely delta sounds !

Looks and sounds good!  Some of those pressed board and masonite like tops sound very good.   Sweet tone.

Thanks a lot SlowHound. I liked your stuff a lot too. I grew up down there in S. MD and still get back to play with the old band a couple times a year.

Sounds really good. Both acoustic and electric. Like the tone alot!! Your voice has nice character too.
