Comment by darren brown on May 22, 2010 at 5:00pm: thats very clean nice work jon .

Comment by Jon Pruett on May 22, 2010 at 4:54pm: Here's my humble entry to the contest. The necks are aluminum channels with teak inserts. The tailpiece, bridge, and nuts are also cut from the same scrap aluminum. It's wired with dual pizeo's in parallel, and gets great volume from the upper slide neck. The bottom neck has classical nylon strings and is a lot quieter - I need to keep messing around with the piezo locations to get the volumes to even out.

Comment by Jess on May 22, 2010 at 8:03am: Darren, Tracy, Jef: Thanks guys. I'll give it a go, and perhaps the results will be acceptable.

Jef, I love it! Cool design.

Comment by Tracy Kennedy on May 22, 2010 at 5:35am: Hey Jess. Just shoot from the hip! I started my reso today. Not a plan or how to to be seen on the bench. But for a general idea I would suggest looking at barefoot cajun's pics.
