Questions often asked...?
Case? Usually suggest a Keyboard case or Gig Bag, best way is to take it into Guitar Center or a store with lots of cases and try them out (know that you will spend an hour answering questions about the guitar from the crowd it will gather :) )
String Gauges, standard C6 tuned to standard C6 tuning however you can tune those same strings to a 6-string E open or G dobro tuning and use the extra two strings as wild cards or take them off.
How's the body attached=three screws in the Melobar control cavity hold the Melobar neck to the body.
Strap? = standard strap can go to the Tele body buttons or use a WEBB dobro strap and go from the Melobar head back to the quick lock strap button I included on the end of the Melobar neck.
