  • Cool stuff...I've been using mostly metal on both ends. I know that would horror fi many...but it works...Will be trying to work more with bone.

  • Thanks everyone!

  • Thank you for sharing... all sounds are good for rockin, sometimes metallic parts are better, sometimes bone needed it depend of the building too... no rules for me because i like surprises when a nice guitar is going to be born... but about guitars you show i think you re right... good explainations...°<[:-) [---]==={...

  • After reading some other threads it seems I need to file the neck down some so it doesn't touch the sound board part of the box. 1/4 - 1/8th of an inch except where the piezo rod is. Thinking this may help boost the acoustic volume.

  • I know the feeling...
  • Bug, It is hard to wait when you have a new toy!   But best to wait.

  • Uncle John you just have to wait for 100% as at that point
    It saves the icon pic which you can select
    On YouTube before pasting to cbn.
    3hrs is ok too if you can wait that long...
    If you paste whilst uploading then
    No icon pic...is there any alternative to YouTube now?
