  • "Thanks CLG" my original idea was to use the Ring as a Skin Head Banjo type build, but more than happy with final result. smile

  • I love it. One of the coolest I ever seen 

  • "Thanks Doug", wasn't really a challenge, but there was a little bit of Belt Sander work involved laughing

  • "Thank You Jonathan"  smile

  • Sharp guitar Alan! The chrome ring looks very cool. I bet getting that excellent fit on it was a challenge. It really makes the wood pop.

  • "Thanks UJ", The Top and Bottom are only Cheap Ass Pine, I don't know why more people don't use it. smile

  • Great looking wood, sound holes, controls and bridge.  Nice job fitting that top to the pan.
