I like how the neck and sound box fit together. Nice home made box as well. May have to borrow some of these ideas when I get around to building my resonator box guitar. I was wondering if stacking resonators would make it resonate better. I have an aluminum cake cup, a small bowl and a big bowl (both stainless steel I think), and I was planning to drill a hole in the bottom of each as centered as possible, then screw a wood screw in through the bottom of the box (may need to reinforce that area) and then screw each of these three resonators in. The tallest is the cake cup, and I was planning to have a long bolt cross over it as my bridge. Does that sound as if it might work? I've done some canjos, but never a metal resonator CBG.
