Hi Paul, Just noticed the interesting piece of circular round carved timber near the pen in your photos. Looks like it would make an attractive sound hole trim in another build. Did you carve /cut it out yourself? Regards John D

John, that is a sound hole trim for another guitar I started but haven't worked on for a while. I plan on giving it to my boss, a florist. It is a rose. I did it on a scroll saw. You can see another one I did of Kokopelli playing a guitar on my page here. I got to get in the mood to work on guitars again, but I've been making other things lately.

I think you will get a dang good sound out of it. Wrap the peizo in someting and see how it sounds in there, like a old hanky, sock, rag, t-shirt, what ever. Knowing your grandsone, he is going to want to try out the distoration, and that will help with the feed back. It being a peizo, he will not have to distort it much.

Paul, that is one badass looking box, man. It kicks butt.

Why not try the piezo OUTSIDE the tin, but near it, mounted on the inside of the box. Those piezos are so sensitive, it should pick up the metal resonator sound coming through the soundhole/tin. Just an idea.
