The door lock sound hole was scavenged from the crypt of Nicola Tesla on Mardi Gras eve 1923. When plugged into a heavily distorted amplifier, the guitar whispers, "magnetic flux density!" (Buyer beware: the Tesla part is not at all true. The guitar is a sweet little player, though.)

I took a look and REALLY like Mark's builds. No Lightening Bolts though. Must be the skeleton key bridge. I can't remember where I saw it first but very inspirational!

Thanks for the kind words guys. The lightening bolt comes out of deep respect for Lightening Hopkins. He is a huge influence on my music. I'll try to check out Mark's stuff as well. Got to give props to previous builders.

Looks great, Papa and nice story.  Don't worry about the 'trademark' ~ I assume Ted is talking about the lightning bolt ~ I've seen several or more similar.  Getting something 100% original in this day and age is something rare- great git.
