It looks like it's a homemade one of a kind.

I agree - especially as the guitar has no fret markings. Rolling Eyes

I'm with Bill. Christine was the first thought I had; even the color is fairly close.

Homemade by a guitarist.

Definitely not a steel player as that will be hell on earth getting slants in tune.

I remember I had a rant years ago about builders who maybe should've asked steel players what may be useful. Anyway. Colour is cool.

Everything else is not for me. Love the colour though.

Any chance your dad made that?
Or someone made it for him?
