Hi All,
I am starting another WTH? project. You can find it here:

It won't look as good as a National, but I can always build another one with a better body & reuse the parts
Later,

Hi All,
I got it to depth, and I put it together, less the electronics
It works, and it sounds decent as an acoustic. Nothing like a brass bodied National, but not bad either.

That's a really cool lookin' axe!
Wicked even with the chrome and black.
I imagine different kinds of strings will bring different flavors down the road.
That's going to be fun to play once you dial it in and get used to a G&L sounding, well,
not so G&L .
I like it

It's done, for now. No piezo pup. Turns out that they are a PITA to integrate with a magnetic pup. So, for now..... It's just the ASAT Special pup, which is actually quite nice.
See the link in my other posts.

Looks super clean Ed. Can't wait to see the finished product.
