If *any* electrified music can be considered folk music -- and I think Mississippi Freed McDowell makes a convincing case that some of it must be included -- then a player of a no-frills self-made electric guitar must surely be seen as a folk artist of some kind.

Ugly or not, isn't it pretty much a cigar-box instrument under a coat of red lacquer?
