Thanks David. It was a fun one to make. Scored the box at York Festival. Many of the older boxes have paper/MDF lids so they have a sound all their own. Not sure how to describe it in musical terms but it's kind of mellow and down low without that edge to it. Thanks again.

Love this, nice work. Have lost moonshine crooks auctions on ebay. After seeing yours, I wish I had bid higher. Nice match of headstock design and tuners to the vintage box. Great vibe very cool.

Cool.   Thanks, Allan.  I really do like this one.   Sometimes I have to put them aside until the mood strikes me, but I do like making those small improvements to looks and playing.

Thanks Uncle John. The corner pieces kind of help hold it all together. :) They need to be dulled down some as well as the tail piece. The string are staying in place pretty well after the slots were deepened some more.

That looks great here.   And the tailpiece color looks all right.  That is about a number 9 guitar and I grade hard.
