Thanks for the kind words!

I basically just speand way to much free time buying junk on ebay like old guitar parts, broken radios and old reclaimed wood ....and the stuff builds itself...Its stuff that already exist,...stuff with a past is kinda magical in itself.... I am just putting it back in use!

A fly walks into a bar....and say's "Hey, I was on the wall at this guys shop".....yada yada

Those are neat boxes, I plan to build one similar.

Finally some who "understands" my musical taste!

One more Idea for your Black and white Friday shopping!

That's how I like em'.

Tail shot!

can you guess where "the guitar was made?"

A future build.  Finally got around to some Vinegar/Steel Wool staining.  Looks old anyway.

You do great work Juice.

...That has THE LOOK!

I love it! it really looks great and I have yet to try Vinegar and Steel Wool stain....I have read about it but yours looks great!

would love a write up of details, I would publish it homemade guitars if you allowed me...this box looks great...would be able to write it out? just a paragraph? and possible a photo ofthis box, but a nice photo and nothing else in the background? hope I am not asking to much

I'll work on that later today.  Going to be too cold to work out in the shed.  Juice, this box was originally planned for your Old Timer p/u but I changed my mind and used the Chupa Cabra box instead.  It has just been sitting here since then.

Thanks bill, This photo here is almost perfect, except the speaker and this books in the back ground, if you could do a shot like this  bjut only the box...or on your work beanch would be great, even cbg stuff in the background is OK, but preferably just the box and a good photo like this one where others can admire it, and then your write up of what you did and I would love to post it as other will want to try...that recipe..me included!

The Don Sixto box
