  • really neat
  • nice box with a lot of bucking character, nice overall build. i did a double piezo box and put one piezo under the bridge and one piezo closer to the front of the box and used a volume pot to act as a blend to go between the two it worked out real nicely.on my page there is a video of the box in action.its an indian tabac 3-string cigarbox guitar if you listen you can tell the difference in the sounds of the two piezos when i roll the knob from front to back. hope this helps you.
  • LOL...no real fire arms were used on this...but maybe the next one
  • No worries mate , as regards the piezo's i'm not the best person to ask as i have never had a great sucsess with them , infact i have stopped fitting them , but dont let this put you off it's only my opinion loads of guys use them with great results , could be that the piezos i bought are just Crap ones
    Have a word with Tiny Guitars he makes some great sounding Ukes and CBG's using piezos plus he's a great guy to chat with
    hope you get sorted

  • Did you really use a shotgun on it? I'm guessing not, but someone had to ask.
  • Cheers juju, glad you like it. i just added another pic of the back. Any advice about piezo pickups? Im trying to decide where to place it...i presume below the bridge...maybe i could use 2 and have a switch for differnet tones...?
  • Nice work Bro love the tuners , do you have anymore pics of the back of them ? .. the Blacksmiths Nail Bridge is a nice idea
    juju.
