Check out this Ken Lelen blog post, on a 1940 Gene Autry guitar that I restored.

Thank you.

Yes, it is a joy to play. I miss having it around since I sold it, but I have another one like it that will be playing soon.

I checked out the thread on the oak one you built from fence planks, etc. Very interesting. Do you still have it.

I do still have that guitar. It hangs in my shop and I play it almost every day. I'm finishing up another one right now and then just started even another one on commission.
