So here it is, standard neck pup with vol and tone,twin piezo (1 in the biscuit and 1 at the bottom of the resonator) with a vol.

Loads of sink drainers as soundholes.I thought about a cover for the resonator but it looks ok as it is.

Plays fine in standard guitar tuning up to the 7th fret, but then the action gets a bit high. Great as a slide guitar. 

Quite loud accoustically, so the resonator works!

Nice and twangy with the piezos and earsplitting with both pups on.

Got the bug now....amassing parts for the next one!!!

Cheers, Mr Sleepy. Not hard to adapt to "flat" guitar, as ah call it, lol. But 99 times out of 100, ah prefer it upright! (maybe ah could have phrased that better, Sleepy, ma man!! lol)
