This little 22 inch scale three string uses the body from a white, junior sized guitar that T. Robert Johnson gave me. The pickup sounded crappy before, but somehow sounds growly great with the current AEa tuning.

Old hat on the right. New hat - an old Stetson Sovereign found for FIVE DOLLARS at a yard sale. I might have given 50. Size is 7 and a half and I usually wear 7 and 3/8. Big hat. :)

I hope to use the original neck from that body on another project.

Thanks, Kirt.   That little git got gifted to a young player.

Great "new" old hat and I feel the same on giving the Jr. sized Git a new life with better sound.

Just the facts, mam.

Thanks, Pick. 

 Gees, Wes.  I was going for blues man, but I think you nailed it,  I still like it a lot.   I could be Walker's stupid, comic side kick.  And get all the women.   Kind of like Cisco and Pancho.
