Back on with a standard MM cover plate £200 collection with soft case.(from Cambridge) The flamed maple top was an off-cut from another guitar, it was not quite big enough to cover the top so I added the finger board extension to give 26 frets, the tail piece was from StewMac 30 years ago , it’s chrome brass with a serial number stamped on it, often wondered where they came from. Will post a video to give an idea of the sound. Pete

Very pretty Pete! I have one of Pete's Eko conversions and can recommend them highly. Tough and smooth is my description!
Best wishes to you all, John

The top is solid 4mm flamed maple. It was an off cut from a piece I put on an electric 30 years ago. It’s glued to the original plywood top, which gives a very stiff platform for the resonator. It has new bronze strings at the moment and is very bright, nominally I string with nickel with their more mellow tone. The neck is typical of Eko guitars, a little narrower than most resos but very playable. Pete

Hi Pete.
Any chance it could be sent. I am in Scotland and Stuck in a wheelchair these days, so getting anywhere is difficult.
Take care and best wishes
Gouranga
