Thanks Uncle John. I played for the "7-Uppers" in Little League 55 years ago and I "collected" the crates when a drove a street sweeper at night back in the Seventies. Some of my first furniture.So, the crates carry a little meaning.

Gitty sells the tuners, StorminSteve. I got all the innards at Gitty too. Great service from those folks, as you know.

Love me some Un-Cola guitar.  Nice looking git and a great save on that old 7 Up crate.  I like the bottle opener tail and the handle.  Oh and the song bird on the back.  I was not too hot on the peg head until I realized what it is.  A very cool build, Daryl.  Good on yer.
