A scrap steel guitar?

Seriously, without any sign of a bridge or pickup cutout, it looks like an aborted home project to me.

I concur. Not much more than a piece of wood. Or indeed less.

What do you call a boomerang that doesn't return?
A stick.
That's what you have there.

Not saying it would be worth your time but it could be made into a playable instument. Why did you get it, just for laughs?

"could be worth a fortune." I consider the odds are somewhere nil and negligible.

I've got the hatchet that George Washington used to cut down the cherry tree.
However, I've had to replace the handle three times and the head twice.

Erv, the new stuff is much appreciated. Although you know I was just busting your stones on the Henway....I hope you know? You keep it up you will be like Rodney Dangerfield...........NO RESPECT!

A little glue, sandpaper and paint and she'll be good as new!
