He has a bullet bar, so he must have made some progress by that time.
Don't go in the water after lunch. You'll get a cramp and drown. - Mother.

Looks like a Manaloff bakelite, I love those bars.

Nice photo Andy. I didn't know they made Bullet Bars out of Bakelite. I'm always paranoid my Ric Panda is going to drop and break because it's made of Bakelite. Another reason why I love Magnatone Lap Steels so much, built like tanks.

The other detail that points to a serious student is that, unless they came like that, he has flipped the tuners.
