Comment by Tramp Guitars on September 7, 2014 at 6:18am: That's Nice

Comment by Bull Run CBG's on March 25, 2014 at 6:42am: Thanks Uncle John, Wayho & Peter! Wayho i can't remember what kind of box it is. I found it in my storage room. The guitar was a requested build. Also has a truss rod installed.

Comment by Peter J Thorne on March 25, 2014 at 6:26am: Very nice work, love the vintage look!

Comment by Wayho on March 25, 2014 at 1:28am: That is sick, man. Incredible! I'm in awe.

What kind of box is that?

Comment by Uncle John on March 25, 2014 at 12:48am: Just real nice. 5s make since to me as someone who does not know what to do with the big string in an open tuned 6.

Comment by Bull Run CBG's on March 24, 2014 at 11:48pm: Thanks Mark!
