A very nice looking Reso' build, I really like the headstock, I have few Reso' cones on the way, so I hope you do not mind if I "nick" a few of your ideas.

Beauty.

Thanks Carl & James!

The box is Las Cabrillas Balboa, approx. 8.5" X 12" X 2" (this is one of my favorite boxes for CBG builds, strong box and good sound)
Yes it is an Old Lowe copper cone, it has a very nice tone.
It has 2 piezo pups, one on the cone & one on the neck (you can see them in one of the other pics)
The switch is a 3 way from CB Gitty. You can select either pup or both.
It also has a volume control, I may relocate it because I tend to place my arm where it is currently located and unintentionally change the volume while playing.
All of the hardware is brass.
I will try to get a video up this weekend so you can hear it.

As far as "Stealing inspiration" from me, I am honored that you like it that much! Steal all you want, that is why we share the pics and info!

Best Regards!

Nice Guitar looks great Love the Gold Hardware!!!

This is classy! Everything ties in nicely. What kind of box is that? What size? Olde Lowe cone? Pups? Is that a switch on the lower corner? Sorry for all the questions, but I really like what you did here and will definitely steal inspiration from you.
