    Thanks Bjorn! LOL I like that tuning :-) Hope all is well with you!

    Thanks John! I like the lipstick, has a really cool 1950's Tele Twang to it. Different from any other pickups I use. 

    Thanks Gary!

    Thanks Batt! With the adjustable bridge you can go around 1/4" to 5/16" on fretboard height.

    Another beautiful build. love the pickup and the headstock style., When you use the adjustable bridge, who high do you put the fretboard off the top of the box.,?? I;ve never tried one yet.

    Dog! Such a clean looking beauty! Very nice!

    That does look good.  Nice balance to it all.   How is the lipstick pick up?

    Your builds are still awesome. One of these days someone will invent a special way of tuning a 6- string cigar box guitar: M-a-D-d-O-g ! I look forward to your next git.

    Happy with the sound, she's got a nice Telecaster "Twang" sound goin' on  :-)
