Thanks Mike. The pup is Jane my 10 year old pit mix shop helper.

Dave, you may be on to something there, I like it !

I’m with cabmaker, you may be on to something. What does Jane think?

Dave, you are insane in all the right ways. That guitar is incredible!

-- Learning is like a door. Open it and there are hundreds more on the other side. Thanks for all the lessons!

Cool ! Your dog doesn’t even look phased by this big bug. Ours would have run away . . .

Cool work though.

Thank you for all the nice comments. You guys are great! I know it will disgust some, being a “roach”, my wife hates it too. Think of it as a happy cartoon bug, not a creepy sewer dwelling infectious parasite. After all, it’s only a lapsteel. I have a strange desire to create the unusual. That’s the only repulsive one that I have made. But I do have a few more that will make people smile.

Too Cool! I can’t help but wonder if the legs get in the way when playing. Very creative – I bet it draws attention wherever it goes.
