Thanks for the encouraging comments, James O, Dave, Bluesheart & Bones, was a bit worried about the Box Timbers being a little bit too thick (Soundboards 7mm & Box Sides 19mm), and that it would have an adverse effect on its Acoustic Quality's, but to my poor old deaf ears, it sounds just fine, "Loud & Clear" :-)

"Thanks Erasmo", tried to get an aged look for the sticker, printed on standard A4 paper, scrunched it up and coated it with coffee :-D
"Thanks Jerry" :-)
