Bluesheart, thanx, but let's look at what I did, I had a box, I bought a neck off evilbay, bought the cone and "f" holes off of Old lowe, made some holes, took some measurements and slapped it all together. It's easy to make some thing pretty out of other pretty things, but to start from scratch???? Way beyond my powers, that's truly art!

Ya but it takes a bit of creativity to pull parts that go together well and I gotta agree looks like you've done well so far.

Bluesheart and Ross are right, you may have bought all the nice bits but you have a great finished instrument that is a coherent whole

Again, thank you guy's for the compliments....however, I didn't post this thread to get recognition, I did it cause there's some of us wannabee "artist's" that can apply a decal to something, and then there's the really good ones who can paint the scene instead, that's what I was trying to get across. I'm real happy with what I make, but I don'taspire to be any better, it's like, I'm a blacksmith that can make a knife, but I'm by no means a knifemaker!!!
