I know a hobo named Iowa Blacky. He used to visit our train museum “The Depot” every summer. Haven’t seen him lately. I think he’d like your Blacky. I sure do.
Thanks, Gary, Jerry and AGP. I do like black instruments. I used a board stretcher to make the hole tighter. Naw, just kidding. Part of the through the box neck was keeping the paint can lid from seating down like it should. I got a new tool last week, an inexpensive oscillating tool. It is capable of quite a lot and the best thing I can see is that it gets into tight spots and can cut pretty darn fast.
Updates are always fun.,,. Looks good in Black.,.maybe throw in a little white here and there for some contrast.,.,sure do like that fancy paint lid.,., your an "outlaw" CBG'r now.,.,
Nice update! I'd be interested in hearing how you managed to get a tighter fit for the paint can lid? Seems like it would involve making the original hole a tad smaller (which can be a trick!) or deforming the paint can lid? Regardless, she's a big, bold, beautiful girl!
Not a new build. I just change them up now and then. Just a paint job on the top and got the paint can lid reso to fit tighter, which improved the sound and volume.

Just realized that “Blacky” is the guitar in the artwork for my Wes Carl “Vacationer” painting. The f holes and cross was my clue. :^)

Nice 'UJ', but does Eric Slowhand Clapton know you have his favourite Geetar :-D
