Guitar/Banjo #2228

This one is a relic and looks as if it may have been constructed on the kitchen table one evening from retired tack leather fetched out of the barn. It might look quite at home on an old banjo and could certainly do daily use on an openback or Mastertone style. Additional photos sent on request.
