That is hilarious. It's like now Mr. Bill, Sluggo, and Gumby will all have a steel to play.

This has the ultra-low-low-ultra-low-ultra under-height kit. Special made-to-order! about 2" from the ground to the bottom of the cabinet.

I think I'm a bit suspicious about the fret locations. Of course, it would play better if it had strings. Does it have a mechanism ?

Does it have BCT?
Weight in case?
Day or Emmons setup?
The Amp looks like a Gallien Krueger...

Btw. some steel vendors sell front leg and pedal rod raising kits.
Looks like your project could benefit from such an upgrade

Seems like your brother could make a living making Birthday Cakes in the shape of steel guitars. I'm sure there would be a demand.
Come to think of it, are you sure this isn't already a cake ?

Well the Carter Starter comes in black mica, and it's almost as good as this guitar.

It's probably ahead of the notes, too.
This is pretty neat! My older brother is all the time making things from scratch. Like myself, we grew up building model kits, he became a lot more advanced. He builds a lot of stuff from scratch now, so jokingly I told him to build a steel one day. Loaned him a Carter brochure, and here's what he came up with. (from scratch!)
