Handcrafted PeeWee tenor resonator

Hello all. I just finished converting a Yamaha Jr. 3/4 size six string guitar into a tenor resonator and am pretty happy with the results.
The PeeWee Peach Orchard Owl is equipped with a National HotRod cone, which was the single biggest expense in the conversion. I paid more for it than the used guitar!
-I used a Dremel to cut the neck down for 4 strings
-plugged two tuner holes and contoured the headstock
-cut the top to accept the cone
-built the resonator cavity out of plywood
-made a cover out of a Goodwill serving dish
-cut soundholes and covered them with drain covers from Lowes
-fitted a mandolin tailpiece
-made a handrest/biscuit guard out of aluminum stock
-painted everything
My late father's nickname was PeeWee and he used to say so and so was "drunker than a peach orchard owl". It always struck me funny. BTW the guitar sounds great and with a 21.25" scale length, it's easy to play. Currently tuned GDAE

Great job, that looks like a real fun guitar.

Great job, Steve. It looks the business! By the way, my avatar has me nursing one of my own-build tenors.
