    Nice one Uncle John. Love the neck jack. Rat is perfect.

    I kind of liked the 'Rube Goldberg' look.  I think I later painted the wood black.

    Wow! Radical retrofit. I've been asked to do a hubcap gat. Why does the piezo not sound any good?

    Thanks Bruce.  I am tempted to leave it just as it is.
