Ha ha that's funny you said that!,,....That bridge was off your guitar!
I just made that quickie acoustic guitar to test out that block idea ( the block is hollowed out. its not a solid block) and your bridge was the right height so I took it off the guitar to test on that one.....I still play and cherish that guitar you gave me, it hangs on the wall near my work bench, I love it!

Hello! My name is Kevin M. Kraft, founder of the annual Kansas City Cigar Box Guitar Festival. This year's event will take place on August 26th, and once again I am accepting cigar box guitars and cigar box guitar-related donation, which will be raffled off during the festival, the proceeds to benefit Kansas City's Blues in the Schools program. If you have a guitar, accessory, CD, DVD--anything related to cigar box guitars that you would like to donate, please contact me at the Cigar Box Nation or email me at kevinmkraft@juno.com to learn where to send it.
A few guys in the CBN discussion group "CBG in CALIFORNIA" are planning a get together (nothing formal) on maybe "some Saturday in August" to talk shop, to look at a eachother's builds, to play and listen, etc. We're thinking like meeting at some park or similar public location in Sacramento. Since you live fairly close and are an accomplished builder, I thought it would be great to have you there. You can check the thread at the link above. Let us know if you are interested.
Thanks Rodney thats exactly what I was asking. Gonna pick up some sheet metal and bend up a tailpiece. Just been debating on whether I should use aluminum or brass for the tail....because I was to run the ground to the tailpiece to ground the strings as Im using a maple/bone floating bridge with a p 90 pup. Any thoughts you have on that would be appreciated (;

Thanks for the kind words Rodney, Trev
Man!!! I love your work.....
That helps alot Rodney, thanks for the photo!
one more quick question......do you solder the wire to the tail or just wrap it around the screw that attaches it??
Thanks Rodney thats exactly what I was asking. Gonna pick up some sheet metal and bend up a tailpiece.
