Distressed Gitty spun paint can lid resonator.
Gitty-Bucker humbucker under the sound hole (painted black.)
The box is an English Leather (cologne) gift box from about 1975, 25.5 inch scale.

Tuned GDGB for open G sliding and for easy finger chords in the key of G.

This one is a keeper. Good tone and volume either plugged or Un.

Really like this build, and like the color coordination. Frets, are these the smaller ones? Remembering you said once, that you much more prefer the small frets, versus medium. Putting a Gitty kit together, 23 inch scale, that uses the small ones, need to finish, and get playing on it.

Thanks Denbo and Jerry. It may be a keeper and one that gets picked up a lot.
