Looks terrific; sounds great and who can argue with the price?

A friend of mine, Johnny Green, did the same thing with a dumpster find. It sounds great and he plays it all the time. I prefer the sound to the metal body guitars.

It reminds me that the very first steel guitars were similar conversion done in the 1800's in Hawai'i.

The wider fingerboard should be a bonus!
