3 string "Belinda" CBG with Juju pick up (my 1st fretted build!!)

This is the 2nd of my Belinda boxes that I bought from eBay. Did an amp with the 1st one, see this vid http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uEXIKKMZHHc ......6 more to go!!
I wanted this CBG to be an all rounder that I could take with me busking and play all my songs on, so the action had to be high enough to slide, but not too high for some of the picking stuff. After lots of fiddling about I've got the balance right and can just about play everything (with the aid of a capo) There are some photos here:

On the video I've tried to play lots of different types of things to show how it sounds. The Juju pick up is BRILLIANT!! If you haven't already check out Juju's website:

Thanks again to all of you who gave me advice and put up with my silly questions!!
