I've been playing steel guitar for 68 years so I built one more guitar, a present for my 91st birthday. Thought I would share a picture with my forum friends that I love like
 brothers and sisters. |

Sam, you built a real beauty! Great design in red, white and blue - plus the U. S. flag fret markers.
I would think it plays and sounds as good as it looks, too. Great job!!

| I really like the American flag theme. That’s super. I’ve seen a few of your builds on here before and they always look great. Glad to see your still building. |
