I guess I wanted to try one of these, so here it is. Sounds pretty good. And less unnatural feeling to play than I expected. Will likely gift it away.

Never played by Chet Atkins.

Thanks, guys.   Scrap 2x4.   Middle 4 strings of a six string set.  Tuned GDGB.   Chrome pickup, used,  Simple build.   Golden oak stain and poly.

Cool! Unc, tell us about the input, is that bone or ?? And I suspect the pickup is the black thingee in the groove there? Thx. My 2x4 is simply that, I just tape a portable piezo on it and beat the thing. Well, it's a diddley bow 1 stringer. Simple as pie. Simpler, heh! -Glenn

I've never done anything with mine. Just can't grasp the lap style. Will most likely gift it as well.

Love the Chet comment.
