I really like the sound hole covers. Did you custom make them or are they something you found?

The box for #4...what's a good string/tuning set-up for 1977 NYC punk?

I'd say C-E-G (C maj.) But you have to choose which 2 strings you want to tune down by 1/4 tone ;-)

Nice first builds you got there. Wish I could find one of those Ramones boxes. Post pics when you get that one done.

X5 tuning for the punk box! (X meaning pick your favorite letter A-G, but probably D or E) Power chords all the way up and down the neck! Haha.

Nice builds.I like your bridge bolt on the first one.

The sound hole covers are brass shower drain covers I picked up at Lowes for a couple bucks each. The other brass one was a laundry sing drain insert. A local hardware store had a bunch of these on the clearance rack for 50 cents apiece.

Here's #3, stung up lefty for my brother-in-law.

 

Not sure what I'm doing with this one (it's on the small side) but as a lifelong Red Sox fan, I was morally obligated to buy the box.
