I saw that on e-bay and wondered the same thing. Maybe an early attempt at building a steel before he made the Nashville/ Sho-Bud move?? Just a guess.

It looks a bit "crude".... I don't think Paul Sr. would put his name on a guitar like that one....JH in Va.

I agree with David parts and pieces and Ben Franklin, Charley Franklin, Heney or whatever

Paul just beat me to it and that is the final word and that is way over mine
