Thanks for the insight, this is something I was wondering about myself. I have reinforced the box but not the lid so far. I did buy screws long enough to fit if I had to add something under the lid. BUT I like your idea better because it would be easier, it is getting a little tight inside the box and I would be chasing after it not knowing how much reinforcement is enough.<br />
So I like your idea better, tailpiece it and it will be done. I have not made one yet but I have a few orphan hinges…

Nice looking build Jim, the tailpiece goes well with thw brass corners. I also see you have some sound holes, another thing I have not thought of and should see if I can add some, I don't know if they would do anything if they were placed on top of the 2 holes in the neck frame as thye would not really be conected to the reso anyways. Has anybody cut a hole in the back of the box where the cone is, course that might not really help much either. The 2 little triangles beside the cone looks about the best bet.<br />

Hey Ron not to put my nose where it doesn't belong. I had issues using steel strings with that cover plate and no tail piece on one of my builds. The tension started to pull the top off of the box. I had two solutions, first bought a tail piece from Stew-Mac. ( I have also made them ) the other thing is if the top is thick enough I have used larger screws 1/2" #4 that have held.<br />

Dianna, picked up a pack of purple fender fake mother of pearl guitar picks.<br />
I glued up some of the insides last night and itching to get strings on. I will post some final photos. Michael, thanks for the kind words. Ron.

Very nice reso, great job. What did you use for purple fret markers? Great job.
