Dobro Slide Guitar

Hot off the stove, this is one hot guitar!
The old broken acoustic body has been gutted and restored with the finest of found objects. This musical instrument once made breakfast in the morning. Now, it stirs up plentiful sounds for the musical palette serving up tasty slide dishes and electric delights late into the night. Hungry for that original sound, the artist has fabricated a one-of-a-kind instrument. On a late night raid into the kitchen, the artist returned with an old waffle iron, spatula, pasta tongs ,pot lids, measuring cups and a tuning fork, not to mention various components off the old gas range. All these components jelled and combined to make a musical stew that few patrons have ever tasted. Completing this musical feast and wired for sound is a vintage 1950's electronic pick up from an old DeArmond Guitar. Plug it in and plug your ears. Music is served!
Enjoy!
Artfully yours,

IMPORTANT Note: Although this instrument can be played, it has been created primarily as a VISUAL WORK OF ART. This is not a full time instrument and should only be played at short intervals for demonstration purposes only. The fabrication of such an innovational instrument is at best delicate. Treat it as you would a valuable antique instrument.

IMPORTANT Note: Use low tuning when tightening the strings and do not overtighten. Tight tuning of the strings will add undo stress to the neck and may cause damage to the instrument. ALWAYS loosen the strings to a no tension setting after playing. This will ensure the longevity and integrity of the Dobro Slide Guitar. Enjoy!
