    Thanks 'James O', one of a lot of "Charity Shop" builds, the main reason being that the availability of good size Cigar Boxes at the right price in Australia, are hard to find.

    Thanks 'Farmer Ted', in the process of making more room in the sheds and thank you 'Uncle John', yes it does "Ring Out", probably the right description of the sound I was trying to describe.

    Just about to head off for about a month's driving holiday around the great land down-under, so have been on a bit of a building frenzy to tide me over till we get back.

    Looks awesome...I enjoy finding cool stuff in thrift shops too. You're gonna need an extra room or shed pretty soon with all your guitars.

    Beauty!   I bet it rings out.
