Distressed , "de-freted look fretboard " (mimicking the old bluesmen stripped parlor guitars with frets ripped out ) also shaved /filed / angled on the bottom edge like they did , to avoid bottle knocking on half string guitars with too much fretboard space . adding ease of play.
- mimicked fret dot removal.

-Steel top - plasma cut 16 gauge steel ( cut by my local sign guy ) then given special chrome coat treatment .

-Resonator .. (actually an antiqued brass light fixture base) inside , to mimic the faux resonator parlors ,(but this one truly adds a bit of ring and echo (when amped ).
victory low-rider pickup for slightly micro-phonic tone and ring .

This one is hot and a winner.  I like the 'removed frets' and the swamp-tone sound.
