Here's an offshoot of a project I'm doing with Park View Business & Enterprise School in Birmingham, making guitars in a day with 12 year olds ...and this is the prototype that I used to demonstrate the process of building to the teachers..I've taken it and tricked it up a bit (woodburned fretmarkers and paper collage decoration)...and used it as a 'mule' to test out combining magnetic and piezo pickups. Big thanks to Robin of Busker Guitars for donating the machineheads and strings for this project.

I thought the look was more V.I. Lenin / Soviet Baltic Fleet  Submarine Commander.


Смело товарищи в ногу,

Духом окрепнем в борьбе,

Братский союз и свобода,

Вот наш девиз боевой.

brilliant John.  Spreading the word to the youth of today. Inspirational.  I'm guessing you didn't turn up for your school CRB check looking like a Russian Battleship Captain though... 

keep up the good work comrade
