Like the plate, the fret markers, ooh, the key. Cool on the speaker as a pick-up. I did that with a home made harp amp in a jar. . The demon thing scares me.
hey dave - thanks for the comment - and you are correct - this was a very primative build - nailed together the box - nailed the neck on - used 3 flat heads on the top & drilled the rear plate in the corners and installed with flat heads - i did bend the plate slightly so it would tighten to the frame as i screwed it down - the scale length is 65.4mm or 25 3/4
Looks cool. I have an old plate, and I'm thinking of trying this. How is the plate secured? From the picture, it looks like 3 screws into the neck and string tension on the bridge. Are the edges fastened in any way? Also, what's the scale length?
