Fouke Industrial Guitars - any good?

Mike McBride · From: Indiana

I have seen this guitar on the 'net. Anyone have one? How do you like it?

Mike, I've sold a number of these through my little steel store, they're really very well made, different- if you like the "industrial look" you'd love these. Two aluminum plates sandwiched around a shaped piece of some kind of plastic or phenolic, they're fully hollow and have enough volume for bedroom practice. They kind of sound like a mini dobro unplugged, In fact I got with the builder and had him make me several with wider string spacing and fingerboard clearance to match a standard dobro setup, and they're a perfect lap steel for the dobro player. I really like how he uses aluminum, bolts to hold the body edges together, and contrasting black bolts for the fingerboard position markers. Neat.

I asked about these a couple of weeks back... someone was kind enough to post this:
http://www.jasonlynn.com/music.html

and this
http://www.bigroadblues.com/cgi/dcforum/dcboard.cgi?az=show_thread&om=788&forum=DCForumID1

both of which feature Jason Lynn playing his Fouke Industrial... sounds pretty wild to me.
