Turquoise is my favorite color (I've been known to say "the color of the Caribbean Sea in the Virgin Islands over a white coral sand bottom, 10 feet deep)! So those last two are total stunners! And again, the two-tone gets bonus points for me. Purdy!
Pedal steel, lap steel, resonator, blues harp - why suck at just one instrument when you can do so on many?

Here's my entry. Finished in drum wrap, custom-ordered. "Business Parts" are mostly MSA, salvaged from a D-to-SD conversion. A work in progress.
