Thanks, John Klaatu and wes. I will be glad to deliver it today. Seems every time I look at it I see all 100 things that are wrong with it (nobody else does of course). And as for the playing, I couldn't tell you the name of any of the chords, I just pluck around until it sounds right. And on the end, I totally ripped that little riff off of an  Ice Bob video he posted.

Sounding and looking good.  I just made a mando out of the same box.  Thought I did good until I see how cool yours came out and sounds.   Good on ya, Mike.  

 

Some good playing there.  Your screw ups and reactions made me laugh.  Been there.  Still there.

Great little geetar.....

And hey! You can play 3 chords - you're a bluesman! (Plus, you can play all of Status Quo's greatest hits!)
