Randy,

That is one cool build.... I like the headstock detail and the color distressing on the neck...

Chateau Real boxes may be the most acoustically "fine" CB around. They pick up nuances of sound as good as any box I've ever worked. Several have been built into quite successful CB Fiddles... I've done several Dulcistick on them.

I know why you want to play it... I'm sure it sounds great...

the best,

Wichita Sam

Sweet! Yep...the Chateau Real boxes are light & responsive. I have a resonator 3-stringer...recently picked up another box....I haven't decided what plans i have for it. Like the finish on yours...

Thanks for the comments guys,
I just uploaded a vid of it in action. It was recorded on a webcam, so the sound isnt as good as real life, but you will get the idea.

Great build. You need to try a Macanudo box.
