I'll definitely do a video when I can, only problem is the Mic on my camcorder is gonna be a bit pants. Would I be better off buying some kind of plug in mic for it?

Thanks Pick, from Rick.

She's a real looker Richey, well worth the time and effort, are you going to do a video so we can hear how she sounds?, love that bridge by the way!

Thanks Jim. This one has been a bit of a milestone for me. It's taken over a month to finish but it's the first build I've been close to being satisfied with! The extra cost and effort of making my own box is more than worth it for the tone and volume.
