Orange Crate Custom St Augustine Fl Talented Brother-in-Law Craftsmanship

Description

Little known history or vintage (guessing the 80’s)? Came upon it with a note saying “it was built out of an Orange Crate by brother-in-law, St Augustine Florida” I’ve attached the note inside the body to maintain its “historical” significance…. Has a nice aged patina to the fingerboard and brass tacks embellishments.
Solidly constructed, makes a nice addition to any collection. Sure to liven up conversation on its
craftsmanship and vintage. A TRUE folk instrument
