  • Thanks UJ, Brian and Jerry. It sounds great! I was concerned because I had to brace up the inside of the box a bit, it was out of square and had some twist.  I also went with  a dovetail joint on the neck so it doesn’t have the extra wood there for support. It wanted to be tuned DADG, didn’t like any of the others. I forgot to mention in the description that it’s sporting a tapered neck. 1 1/8” at the nut to 1 5/8” at the 22nd. 

  • great job.,.,,.pretty build.,.,looks solid.,.,,.

  • Nice one!

  • That is purty much wonderful.  I have never seen a box like that.  You did it VERY proud.   2 for a nickel is old for sure.   I love fours in DGBE,  sometimes DGBD and more for electric, GDGB.   How does she sound?
