Chief,

Great National Steel Guitar! I haven't seen one of those in years.

But I give up on the "Where's Waldo" puzzle to find the leather work.

Yep, I loaded this one to use as my avatar, but the lack of leather made me change my mind, I couldn't find a way to delete it. Most of the stuff I make is music related, Guitar, Dobro, Banjo, Bass Straps and Pick Pouches, etc. The instrument you see is not a National, national is a brand of resophonice guitar and they make more round necks than square necks. This instrument is called a "Dobro" or "Resophonic" guitar. (Gibson owns the "Dobro" name and they make terrible Dobro Guitars). It is prevalent in country music even today (Randy Travis has one on many of his recordings, etc). It is better known in Bluegrass. The round necks (played like a normal guitar with a steel on the little finger sometimes) is known more in Blues and particularly "Delta Blues".

Thanks for stopping by,
