Looks sweet PRH. How does she sound?

Adden-dumb,
The tuners were from a wrecked yard sale guitar and the neck from a reclaimed trade show display (20 year old straight grain poplar!). We'll be seeing more of the poplar, there was a bunch.

My Dumpster Challenge entry

3 Fret Single Malt & s'Gars.

Punch CB too small for other projects.
Parts raided from this year's (and last year's) Christmas present to Melissa, single malt scotch.
Headstock from 18 year Scotch box and 15 year bolltle top decoration,
Reso bridge from 18 year box lid,
Frets from a shipping carton (Thanks to Rafael Lopes for the 3 fret help),
Nut from a scrap dowel, bridge from a CB box separator,
Distillery tour Scotch (Melissa again) bottom bottle/end piece,
Distillery tour mini bottle for slide,

Chocolate and cinnimon Altoids box lid tailpiece (for after the cigars and Scotch).

Sidebar: Genuis boy made the scale length for bass strings (from a restring last year) but couldn't find them in the blasted Chicago cold garage. Scale length is too long for any regular strings so waxed twine (red for high performance) acts as a stand in until it gets warm enough to hunt for strings.
