Yeah, thought so, and it's nice too, but I was talking about the console. I'll bet it's got a very unique and cool tone.

| Yes it does and according to his wife, Felton built it using odd ball parts that he found around the neighborhood. That's why the Smithsonian decided on this guitar among the many others that he built or designed in his lifetime. |
