“An imp is a mythological being similar to a fairy or goblin, frequently described in folklore and superstition.” (tis also short for “ Imperial tobacco” me thinks ) ;-)This box is 107 year old , so I used a 100 year old canoe paddle for the neck .I also faintly inscribed “White star line “ on the neck (yup , Titanic mojo ) ;-)Installed a rod piezo and some burlap to cover the sound holes .a fun diddly .Interesting tidbit -The factory print on the back may explain why some boxes are more rare than others .:( The manufacturer of the cigars herein contained has complied with all requirements of the law , the following caution is to be strictly observed under penalties provided by statutes of Canada.1st-this package is to be opened in such a manner as to break the stamp.2nd- This package is not to be used again when the present contents are removed .3rd- The contents are not to be removed except for immediate sale .4th- WHEN PACKAGE IS EMPTY, THE STAMP AND PACKAGE MUST BE DESTROYED !).

Nice! Thank goodness for scofflaws who ignore cigar box warnings. Well, except for the "may cause cancer" one! It's cool seeing some of your other builds. Unc's a fortunate fella.
Pick, is this the complaint department? I finished up the recent relic build yesterday and graced it with the good stuff, the strings from you. The small G sounded like crap. Bummed me out a bit yesterday and this morning.
I came home tonight and noticed that the small G string was not nearly as taut and tight as usual. Gees, I am a moron. Those strings have color coded ball ends and I still managed to screw up and use the tiny E for a G. Strings are now correct and the problem is solved. Those are great strings, but I have proved that they are not idiot proof.
