    Thanks folks!  I'll try to get some more pictures - different angles, etc. and post 'em up.  I really enjoy playing it.  I may put a piezo rod under the saddle. As of right now, the top is glued on, but the back is held on my (5) screws.  Also thinking about maybe, just maybe, putting an "Original Flatpup - 4" on it.  We'll see... I really do like it acoustically.

    There's a cool organic look to it. Nice job. It reminds me of the forest spirits from Princess Mononoke, if you've ever seen it?
