christian, the bonehead say he be ok with you using the koppertone guitar you built, for the non-wood guitar build challenge. so if you like you are in the challenge and no you dont get disqualified for beating yourself with a board everytime you made a mistake cause you prolly healed by now, and one more thing bonehead said that the koppertone was not what inspired him to start a non-wood guitar build challenge. have you seen the things he builds? it could be any thing that inspired him,we prolly will never figger that one out. peace brother and if you get first or second place can i get an autographed picture of you playing the koppertone for all the world to see.

I'm close getting close to done with my non wood guitar.I call it HIGH Voltage. the headstock design i chose has been a bit challenging and eating up too much time . I guess I'll have to finish everything else first and come back to it ,to make the 31st deadline. Still rockin!

Here is one picture of my gastank ,no wood,pvc /copper neck,weedwhackerstringed,coffiemaker heating element bridge,copper nut, Bottom of the barrel oil co Bass. I would like to submit for the builders challenge.Did I mention how great all you guys are lately? I was just thinkin how special all my freinds at cigarbox nation were to me. I think the world of just about everybody Ive met on here. Of course this sounds as though I may be kissin ass for votes.Well maybe I was. But seriously. I truly have never been involved in any group at all that had so many quality people in it.I havent met anybody that I didnt like in one way or another on this forum. When I come here I think ,In the same world I view so much selfishness and hatred almost every time i turn on the tv or drive my truck. I run into a group of cbg builders that remind me things are never as badd as they seem. This world is in alot better shape than it appears after all. Thanks for that.
