Thank You Uncle John, Briand and Bluesheart. It is a righty, I wanted to put the soundhole on the other side but moreso I wanted to keep the graphics on the box untouched. The tail end has the original label that I didn’t want to destroy so I made a copy for the heel end to match. The side opposite the soundhole is a two piece where the store owner could remove the top one to make a display out of it and it too has some printing. I was also worried about the stability of that side being a two piece and cutting a hole into it.
