What do you do to your guitars to get that old, worn look? If this is information you would rather not divulge, that is ok, I understand. They certainly are unique. Never seen anything quite like them. Keep up the awesome work.

this will be my first reso so I could use some guidance. Mark Lillo says you have a suggestion for piezo disc placement. also, can I build with the standard 1x2 maple through-neck i've used for my regular guits?
