Thanks for taking a look Bruce.I do not know the year since I m not the first owner but from what I read they were made around 2009. It has a shorter scale length, I measured about 23.5 inches from the nut to about where the bridge is under the cover. It does not have a hip shot bridge but I think I saw a video on YouTube where a guy is playing one with a hip shot so I’m imagine it can be added. It has a lace sensor pickup in the bridge and some kind of pickup in the resonator. The kicker with these is there is no tone or volume controls, and it uses a stereo cable so to get a better control on them you can use a mixer. I personally never did this, I just plugged the stereo cord into a regular guitar amp. I have it in GBDGBD, but the person I bought it from kept it in open D. I use.016-.056 strings on it. If you’re interested I can make a recording on my phone and send it to you. I’ll add more pics below.

| I am the person that suggested to Paul Beard that he name this guitar the Road-O-Phonic. |
