Tim, in all honesty, without amplification it is very quiet, small sound chamber and a dog bowl resonator are not a great combo, even though I ground and thinned the bowl to make it a bit more responsive. The good news is the piezo's in the bowl sound very good plugged in, a pretty good reso sound, and the mag pup is fine also, my main reason for going back and re doing this guitar was to get some more acoustic volume, and I really didn't improve it a lot, but it IS a much better electric than it was.
thanks guys, It,s not a new one Uncle, one I did a few years back, with a high drama rebuild, lol, the pic wasn't meant to go on the main page, just in the"what's on your work bench?" thread, but I had trouble loading the pic and it went where it went.

That is an awesome reso. How does it sound?
Beautiful guitar! Wow!
"Oh Yeah!", I like the look of that one, "Well Done" :-)
Wow, Darryl! That looks hug-worthy, play-worthy and keep-worthy.
Yes!
