    Bloody brilliant as you blokes like to say!

    Ya, nice tone. As far as resonator guitars go, just like a speaker cabinet, the heavier, harder, and sturdier the box, the more sound comes out of the cone. Thanks for sharing. Enjoy.

    I'm getting loads of comments on this..I feel under pressure to get it started, but I've got loads of other customer orders to finish first!

    I'll be making the soundwell and shelf in wood, together with the internal thru' block and end block.

    Is the soundwell going to be aluminium too, or plain ol' wood??
