Default "Acorn Alchemy" recorded on homemade guitar

This is a recording of a tune I wrote played on a dread I built in 1970 when I was still a teenager. Don't play it much anymore since it is a wee bit difficult to play (flat fretboard, gigantic body shape). Sounds pretty good though:

Always such elegant phrasing, Derek.

Do you have more photos of your guitar?

That guitar already has a vintage voice. Doesn't blend as well as your others but sounds old & Martin to me. Nice playing as usual.
