Frankly I thought this would be a lot more raw, hill country style playing. However, there is some good stuff here and I have to give Speal a lot of credit for throwing even the kitchen sink into this. There's straight-ahead rock, there's kazoo, solo instrumental to full bands, swing pieces, Eastern influences.
I've always wanted to build one of these guitars. Speal has a great site full of plans and forums and all kinds of tips on building anything from the simple to the advanced. And it doesn't stop with guitars, there's violins, lap steels, banjos and ukes too.
