Comment by Rich on December 6, 2022 at 2:57am: Thanks, Rev.

I have not done much decoupage before, but that is an interesting idea.

Comment by Gary W aka Rev. Bluejeans on December 5, 2022 at 11:28am: Sweet sweet build! Love the headstock - but it'd be cool if you somehow match the distressed look of the body. Maybe something with thin fabric or newsprint, decoupaged in place and selectively sanded. regardless - what a beautiful build! Congrats, Rich.

Comment by Rich on December 1, 2022 at 9:56am: Thanks for all the notes, guys.

When I first saw this box, I knew it would make a nice build.

Comment by Jerry Jordan on December 1, 2022 at 1:02am: xcellent

Comment by T-Gripped on November 30, 2022 at 11:50am: Very nice!! I like the headstock. The black tuners work well.

Comment by AGP # on November 28, 2022 at 10:08am: Oh Yeah!, love the distressed look on this build, "Well Done" :-)

Comment by Doug Thorsvik on November 27, 2022 at 9:09am: A looker for sure Rich! Looking forward to hearing and seeing it at the Zoom meeting shortly.

Buzzing strings when fretted. Frets look good. I have a zero fret license plate guitar. Break angle I can inprove at the nut however the buzzing is coming from the bridge, I used a banjo bridge.
