Depending upon what you are selling there is always the next Boxstock when you could sell, or eBay will give you a bigger number of people to sell to.

The piece of wood on the right is the end of the neck, I had to lie on the floor to take this photo as the thing is clamped to a bench glueing the fingerboard in place.
Will send another photo when the glue has set

I've posted a couple of photos.Do you have enough depth in the box to glue a thick piece of ply to the back of the through neck ?

The pots will probably be marked A and B
Use A for volume and B for the tone

Cutting a rod piezo will not affect the sound, "tip" cut the rod on it`s side. There`s 2 tiny brass plates in the rod, if they touch it won`t work. I cut the 1/8" plug off the rod wire and solder it up to a regular input jack. The braided wire is the ground, you just need to fish out the plastic coated wire [ hot ] out of the braided one,an ice pick works good to do that.

Roadkill a.k.a. John Maw said… Hi Gary.
Good to have you as a friend on CBN. I will have a go at the tabs, but so far I have only played it on a double neck guitar. It shouldn't take too much to reduce it to three strings.
All the best.
John
