Yeah, that's real nice.  I was just looking them up - gonna have to get me some.

Thanks turtlehead!  The blend pot does as you suggest.  Sort of an infinite position switch between bridge and neck humbuckers.

Cool.  More than once I've eyeballed my sawzall box for a project, but never did it.  So does the blend pot turn one pickup up as the other one gets turned down?  Sounds great.

Thanks Steve!  Can't wait to start the next one.  I ordered up another set of humbuckers and a 5-string bridge/tailpiece.  I have another standard 6-string tailpiece that I can hack down to 5 string as well.

On the hunt for more sawzall boxes.  I see more 5-string guitars and maybe a few 4-string bass guitars in the future.

Thanks eK and RTZ. It's really not much different than a dreadnought for size.

I bought a saw today just to have another box.

that's a ridiculously large box guitar but its sounds great I would play it on stage I would need a pick in a drill though.

Comment by eK on October 17, 2014 at 1:42pm

Wow! Who needs an 'axe' when you got a 'saw.' That sound is just made for roadhouse blues. Well done!

Thanks Clock.  :)  I'm pretty proud of this one.
