"Thanks " again "Manyouwell", it was primarily built as a solid body Electric Mando Guitar, but was surprised when finished with the fact that it did have some unplugged Tone & Volume to it, as you can see by the centre pic, it does have a small cavity/sound chamber, which was included mainly to cater for the electrics, so am thinking of adding a sound hole to the right side, probably a Half Moon type or F Hole, and as you stated in one of our previous conversations, about the tight strings, although I tried to keep the string tension down a bit, they're still reasonably tight, and hard to fret, the action is too high at the moment, so will lower it when and if I add the Sound Hole :-)
PS; eagerly awaiting your next change of name! :-D
