Ok. ... this one is one of those cigar box delights. The box is 100 percent made for this..  I but the bridge where it would not ruin the look, but I wanted it to be electric, so I had no place to put the pickup....... I went with a piezo, put the sound holes on top......dulcimer fretting,   23” scale length,small  strings and tuned to D or E.... WOW what sound, it is lLOUD.this surprise is why I build.  Total change of direction , so I built two more.  My grandson took it.... he says we can share after I built him  the AVO he picked out.  Thanks for your comments..

Yup on what Dave said.   A high caliber build.

Oh man...I need to all one of those boxes. Love that raw wood. Love how you spaces it so you could save all the gold lettering
