Top: this was about my fave git as a pot lid build, but MISTAKES were made. After enjoying it a few months, the neck and action moved and I rebuilt it minus the pot lid. It came out good! Good volume and a very nice acoustic sound. Good plugged in too.

Middle: My good old DGBE. Workhorse guitar. Easy to play in any key.

Bottom: Pot Lid #2 tuned GDGB. Not as good unplugged as the top one is (or was.} Killer good plugged in with the Gitty bass mag pup.

Top and bottom are good for fingering or slide. Middle is a bit low in action for slide.

Thanks, Alan.   Best wishes, Jim.  I hope you get something that sounds good and is loud enough to play with your store bought acoustic playing friends.

Very cool Unc. I found an old chicken feed pan that's about the pot lid size. Thanks to you I now have to make a big box for it.
