I've had this in mind for a while, and I'm pretty happy with the end result
The body is made of edge bent flat, TIG welded to some more flat that was bent to same shape as one of my acoustic guitars. Getting both sides even was an exercise in frustration. I definitely won't be giving up my day job to build these
FYI, those frets are pretty accurately spaced I had toyed with putting stainless strings on, but wasn't sure how it would look once all rusted. Decided on mild steel in the end.
Either way, I'm pretty happy with the result
