Outstanding work. I've never seen a grass-topped guitar before.
Thanks for sharing.

What's the story with that woven bamboo guitar? Homemade? Are the sides bamboo, too? They look like a steamer I have!

Bravo!
Sounds like an archtop, plays in tune, built with hand tools...
herguitarcraft, you're a real talent.
Nice touch on the instrument, too.

I look forward to hearing the Tele.
