just had to brag--she may look kind beat, but its all cosmetic. the bar frets &
flat fingerboard took a little getting used to, but shes fun & really shines with
a slide
my wife calls her the 6 string uke, but shes the old dog (her name)
the blues machine :D

Great guitar. I have a 0-17T tenor (1945) that has a great voice but I wish it had 6 strings. The mahogany makes for a very sweet tone. Mine is strung in so-called Chicago tuning, like the top 4 strings of a guitar. Fun instrument. Yours must be even more fun, with 6 strings.

Nice old guitar, :) Looks like she'd be a keeper for life.

a keeper for life she is--if i had to keep just one ax, this would be it.
keep her tuned down a whole step (D) & she just sounds so rich.
usually i tune her to open G (D G D G b d), sit on my back porch
& annoy my neighbor :twisted:
ok, maybe not, but i am right proud of her.
