    Thanks Rob! I can't take credit for that, I saw where someone else had turned one around like that so I did some copycating. :-)

    I like how you used the strat jack plate.

    Pick, I know you Bro. Once you get done with your build it will be to damn cool for school!!!  :-)

    Thanks Jim! A friend of mine has a piano tuning business so he tears them apart and gives me what I want. That's kinda cheating isn't it? Meeting with insurance adjusters and cleaning up, not fun by any stretch! Thanks though, it will get done someday :-)

    Thanks Thomas! Never done one like this so I figured it was time :-)

    Thanks RTZ! It is solid for sure, I like the truck gun rack idea lol :-)

    Thanks Rob!

    Thanks Roy!

    Thanks MCG! This was named after his great grandson Bob Mozart

    Definitely a cool build!
    However, Mozart died over 100 years earlier.
