    Moved to here due 2 GOTM Thread jack

    Given the 5th second place I have achieved in GOTM last month and the over whelming requirement that I should have a truss rod cover on a TELE (Adam has just cried 'sacriledge' at this) I have given careful consideration to their requirements and spent many hours on my creation below in rattle can 'gold'. The body is chrome and was first painted with one coat of grey primer and one coat of gold acrylic. I have my initials on the project and hence proudly claimed it as mine and the shape is reminiscent of an acoustic guitar without being too obvious. No requirement for intonation as it does not require strings. Hopefully I can go one better this month. This is my entry.

    It is played by balancing it on your middle finger of your right hand and gently 'hit' with this!
