It was through that pickup (which was from a really old, cheap Hohner strat copy), but it's also through a Zoom G2 effects box with some reverb and a really small bit of delay. It's been a great buy, like buying 10 effects boxes in one! The guitar sound pretty good acoustic mind you, just a bit quiet.

Yeah, I totally love this "stream-of-consciosness" guitar building. There's just something kind of magical about approaching the assembly of an instrument with a similar degree of improvisation used to play it. :)

Hmmm... I don't build cigar box fiddles (CBF). But, just this week I did comment on a guy's photo of his first CBF (a work in progress) and suggested talk with Diane in Chicago (she's CB Nation's resident expert on them) and I probably linked in her photo to my comment and that's how you thought it was my photo. If you go to the CBN's menu bar and select Community, then Members, there is a Search box. Just enter "Diane" and press return. The first Diane listed should be Diane in Chicago. Click on her link and you will be at her page. Shes's build several CBFs, and has photos of most of them. You can comment on them to get her attention.

If you visited my personal page and saw my photos, you know I build mostly diatonic stick dulcimers in various forms. On two of them, I cut the corners to for the sound holes. I guess that's what you are talking about by the phrase "letting the corners". I've been building for a year now, and for such a relative newbie, I guess I have a few nice builds. Funny how my early builds look like junk to me now. I guess I should re-build a few, I know I can do better.

Well, happy building & playing...

-Rand.
