Brand New Pogreba Resonator, Brown "Mercury"

Here's a brand new Aluminum-bodied Pogreba resonator that plays like butter, croons like hot grease, and stands out from the crowd with a salvaged Mercury hubcap for the reso cover. Add a salvaged Hofner pickup, layered Mokume tailpiece, and Ebony (salvaged from a sculpture) fingerboard, and you're ready for action.

Wall art at most from my perspective.

Palm muting will be a bitch.

Soon to be baptized with blood from the poor sucker who actually tries to play one.

 

[GomezAddams]

It's like 7th grade metal shop and wood shop classes decided to do a joint project.

 

[BuzzBaloo]

no.

That seems unnecessary.

“Made from reclaimed materials that were in the shop. And the shop is also my garage. Where I store my trash and recycling cans.”

What the fuck is the binding material? Because it looks like caulk. Caulk applied by me, not by someone who knows what they’re doing.

Binding: When you weld aluminum it should like you took a stack of coins and fanned them over and not like, like,…. …like a hot glue gun oozed it out where the tip gets clogged.

 

[Chicken Man]

That looks like a biscuit bridge, which means this is a blues style guitar. The trashy tone of the cone, with the probably-microphonic cheapo pickup, would create a sound completely incongruous with the fancy-pants look here.

I don’t think this “luthier” really understands what the cover plate is for.
