Very nice. can you fill us in on your "reso" components please?

I just bought a biggish Australian money box from the cheap shop, with an idea to cut it down for a reso.

Oh, Ive also made a case for #1, and am currently building a small 9v amp
to build into the case, so it can be a "buskers special".

will post pics soon :D

Started on CBG#2 today, using the wooden box in my profile.
This one is going to be fretted :)

Thanks guys,
Sound as good as I was hoping it would ( better actually)
My friends are very impressed with how good it sounds.

Tuning is open G, and I used the A,D & G strings from a set of medium GHS bright bronze strings I had laying around.

Hey Brian great firsty! I can see a lot of thought has gone into it! The macanudo boxes always sound soulful.
My number one has been recycled into three other guitars now (as no thought was put into it)..

Hey Brian that thing is way cool! So much better than my #1

OFF TOPIC.

Changed my mind after downloading the programme; Monday has the better Blues line up.

There is a Jazz and blues festival on at Darling Harbour this Sat and Sun. Might get down there on Sun.
