53, I wouldn't mind if it only looked like a boat oar with strings, but it _sounds_ like one as well! :-( Very tempted to have a look for Don's "Go" guitar, so I won't have to lug around my decent one.

Incidentally, Tacomo do a "Papoose" mini-guitar, which you tune 4 semitones higher than normal - has anyone tried one of those? Looks pretty funky and claims to sound good.
