  Nice work. Add a fret (or fretless) board to the neck. That will help to lower the action a bit, I think. That and what Bluesheart said.

  NIce sound from that and good playing too. Well done. Make a new bridge for that thing with some slots to open those strings up a bit.

  @Graham thanks a lot.  I used Martin SP light acoustics (just a pack I had lying around - not intentional).  And I used the A, D, G and B string.  I believe I was in Open E when I recorded this (E, B, E, G#) which the guitar seems to like best.

  Look's good and sound's good, well done. I'm on my first build, what strings did you use and what's the tuning? Gandalf.

  Man, that git sounds great and you play it pretty good too. Just swap out a threaded eye bolt for the bridge. Really cool!

  That poplar stained nice.  An easy way to bring the finger board higher is to add a 1/4 inch fret board.  I think you did very well.   Wow, that one sounds good and you play it well.

  Sounds good! I made the same mistake with the lid on my first build too. If you use a piece of threaded rod for the bridge, you can just lay it on the top of the lid and spread the strings apart so they lie in the threads.
