Don't do i.....   oh- too late.

You should be able to turn this into telly if you're careful.  You've already 
got all this weird European stuff, with scalloped frets annat.  Now get an 
angle on steel guitars, bottlenecks, etc, and you'll get the transatlantic 
connection you need for telly.

You know the sort of stuff, you sitting round a Louisiana campfire swapping 
licks with some guy out the swamps with his National steel lute.
Next episode you're in some gypsy camp in Transylvania.
