Hi Darryl,

Thanks for checking out the Tiger.

Your lap steel looks pretty awesome!!!

I tried to comment back on the chat, but once I figured out how to do it you had left.

Hope you got the updated version schematic at the end of my amp build, it has the corrections.

Hey Darryl, sorry for the late reply...

This is a recent Lightning McQueen Cars 2 Lunchbox Guitar I made.  It turned out better than the TMNT Guitar, but that was one of my first ones and I was still trying to figure out consistently good fret jobs.
Here's another video to show one with a pickup under the lid and how that sounds.  It's wicked simple to add a single coil pup upside down, under the lid.

Let me know if you have other questions. Good luck!

Hi Darry, thanks for adding :-)

Hey Darryl, 

Eye bolt tuners are simple to install and great for holding tune. I tell people I need to come up with some funny, snappy name that I won't get me in trouble (been calling them redneck floyd rose locking tuners (cause they work about as good at locking in your tuning once the strings have stretched)).  I am just waiting on Floyd Rose to get mad about that though.

The only pain about them, is actually getting the bolts to turn once full string tension is achieved.  You have to use a screw driver, or allen wrench as a pry bar, inside the eye, in order to make your adjustments.  Once you make your adjustments, then make sure your wing nuts are tight and you are good to go.

Let me know if you have any other questions about anything.  Good luck! 

thank you .

Hi Darryl,

The neck is actually scratchbuilt by myself just for this build. However putting your Epiphone neck on something similar is totally do-able since it's basically no different than any other solid body guitar, just gotta route the appropriate neck pocket. Any questions feel free to ask

Hi, thanks for the friend request!

Hi, thank you for the friend request. I just got some 5" resonator cone from CBGitty, and searching some hardwood for the neck... and I also started to build a CBUku too. So much fun!!

Hi Darryl, thanks for the friend request.  I was just about to send you one too.

Hey Darry,

Thanks for the friend request. Yeah, great amp for CBG's.

      I saw where someone told you about a fret scale formula. My advice is get a fret scale from Gitty. Actually, if I had known 6 months ago, how many fret boards I would have built by now, the fretting kit would have been a smart move.

thank you very much , although im a bit busy at the moment I appreciate you taking the time for me,regards dan

Samantha Fish...She is one of only two Artists I have seen that inspired me to build ' Longhorn ',,,her and Paul McCartney when he front Nirvana a short while back!
