welcome welcome... the only simple advice you probably kinda figured anyway -- just a solid tight build -- solid joints and maybe a few little support blocks or things to make the thing a solid unit --- I lucked out on my first one and put blocks in the corners etc the paper thin basswood box I used and the thing RINGS!!! solid and full bodied. I'm amazed a stick on a box can sound like it does.

Good advice Eric,

I'm not sure when I will get the time to make second one so I need to make the first last. My CB is one of the thicker wood ones with a semi-rounded lid but I will re-enforce it and the neck anyway. I'm definitely going electric too so I will be soldering that stuff and making sure the 1/4 jack port is installed at a good angle and solid.

I can't wait to play my first notes, I hope I don't mess it up somehow...hehe
