How do you embed photo's into the comment box?
Look at the tool bar at the top of the comment box. The second block from the left (next to the one that says "LINK") allows you to embed pics from your computer. Scroll over it and it will say "Image". Click on that, then in the next window hit "Browse". Find your file and click it, and it will embed the photo into your comment. Let it load, then click "OK". You can do it multiple times, like this:

Thank you much Hal, very appreciated.
My entry, and sadly nameless at the moment, is a 21 inch scale lengh slide guitar built from a Macanudo box trimmed in Wenge.
The neck and head is a solid piece of Teak with a Koa fret board inlaid with Wenge for fret markers and Walnut for scale markers. The octave is marked with a bit of Brazilian cherry.
The saddle is Walnut with a bridge made of deer antler, as is the nut, and the tailpiece is a bit of sheet steel.
The box has a Koa rosette and a single Piezoelectric disk pickup under the bridge with a Wenge jack plate.
Enjoy
I would also like to note that no power tools were used in the construction of this guitar.
This is my first attempt at building a cigar box guitar and case. I hope you like it. See below the photos for more detailed information on the build. --Frederic Thorner
