Really old Romeo y Julieta box (40s, 50s), mahogany neck (the neck has some holes in because it is recycled wood from a previous use, burned on fret markers and dots, bolt bridge and nut. Currently has a piezo transducer, which isn't that great and I want to make a pickup for it in the future and maybe hide it under the box's lid.

this box belonged to my grandfather, I absolutely slaughtered making my first build not knowing what I was doing and made a really crappy instrument, but I think now I have done something worthy with this box.
Nice work Fergus. I like vintage cigar boxes too, stuff that has had a previous history brings some mojo with it. And, of course, is just plain interesting to look at.
