oh i guess some info would be nice the box is a old gun cleaning kit i had laying around seemed just perfect the neck is a piece of figured maple i got at Home depot with a oak fretboard, cheap fret wire frome ebay the nut and saddle are both just a piece of all thread (sadle has tape on it to keep it form buzzing) all the hardwear and electronic came out of my junk draw. all and all its a pretty simple build i did have to refine the box due to a screw up but i am so much happier with it now.

the best,
