Starting my next guitar. Will use the pickup I just made in this one.

I think the box is really nice....

I successfully peeled the inside paper off the lid. Guess what's going on the headstock...

Oak fret board in the works...

Thinking of using some spent brass 22 casings for fret markers on the side of the neck. If not these, then BBs again.

Hmmm... Me thinks this is an awesome box.... and my next guitar after the La Aroma De Cuba...

Thanks for looking.

Those bottom few BBs look like they're falling out or something... but I assure you they're not.

Hi all. I wanted to share the finished guitar. Finished her up a few weeks ago and just getting to taking some pics. She sounds great!

Bracing. I added a little copper tape to the inside. Not sure if it's enough to make a difference or not... but its something.

  Looks great! I like the headstock. One question, though: How do you incorporate that submersible pump? :-)

  Looking good. I've never used copper foil to shield the pickup cavity (and never felt the need to), but just make sure it's not in contact with the coil or the termination poles on the pickup or it could stop it working.

    Yep... There is no contact.... :) That would definitely be bad. lol....
