Oh man, that is sharp! In a way, it reminds me of those super sleek, art deco inspired Streamline locomotives from the 50s.

Good call. It does sort of feel like it should be popping off a poster travel advertisement...!

Nice, Jake! And you didn't need to do any work on it? Looks like you could make breakfast on it, too. :)

Jim: Needed a neck (dowel) set, fret dress, and nut/saddle setup... the usual... but really in far better shape than I expected.

Wow, I truly learn something new every day at this site. I looked, but was prepared to lump this one in the category with banjolins, and those weird mandos made out of bedpans. I saw the word "meditation" in the video title, and laughed. Then I clicked. I could not believe the sound of this instrument. A complete and pleasant surprise! And it's got a 15" scale? Now I want one.... not gonna happen, but sheesh. Thanks for posting!
