<p>Found it! Actually sounds pretty good for what it is, or maybe it’s just who’s playing it that makes it sound good?</p>

<p>Hi guy's, some time back I pondered the same ideas put forward here. a tin top as described here would sound bad, to my ears. Also, a tin licence plate fitted to a wood top could be a bit better but acoustically challenged as well.</p>

<p>So, what I did was to mount the licence plate off of the top with spacers so the wood top is free to vibrate. I cut a hole in the plate for the bridge to sit on the top itself. play well acoustically but the sound/tone was still influenced by the plate on top. </p>

<p><span>Flatpup pickups are ideal for license plate git’s? I </span>would suggest a lid off a paint can, the thickness & rigidity will give you more volume? Actually, some of the thicker food cans work quite well for acoustic resonators, especially Tuna & Corned beef cans? And they don’t cost much either? Good luck with your build :)</p>
