Default Nice dock at a pond...

Enjoy!



If I'm not mistaken, I think that actual tuners are solar panels.

That's very cool! However, there will be a lot of members here who will get freaked out because all of the strings are off at the same time.

To say nothing of the potential for over-humidifying.

Now that's a dreadnought! Look for a poll next week on your favorite body shape for docks.

I think that if this were mine, I'd have to put either a hot tub or a live well in the sound hole.

They'd be nightmares 'cause inevitably somebody would fall in while walking across from the "fingerboard" to the "top" in order to get to your pontoon boat, and sue you...

LOL. Great reference to a recent thread.

I wonder what pilot's think when they fly over ... assuming they're only at a few thousand feet.

The hole in the deck is for ice fishing in the winter.

I'll bet it is tuned down a half step to D flat.

It's a good thing the owner wasn't an archtop fan.

When the Jolly Green Giant finds out this guy took the strings off his guitar and made a dock out of it, it will make the nightly news.
