This did have a pretty and nicely finished neck and headstock. I just did not like it, so I took off finish here and there for a relic look.

I like these boxes a lot. not real wood, but they sound good. I've made them all a little different, including one where I reversed the lid to get a white top.

All have piezos with loud and good sound. The white one is tuned DGB and the others are GDg.

Nice set of tree, agree on the bottom on great looker, seems like a good player frets and all like the banjo head  to !

Dave, Wes has the top one, but yours is quite like it.  That American Ace thing came with a Hohner American Ace Harmonica.

The top one looks just like Ratty's neck. I think I have it with a changed top. .. American Ace?

LOL, Wes.

Thanks, Jerry.  I think Wes Carl has the top one.  Things have changed in the last 5 or more years.  The old boxes are scarcer and more pricey.  I still like a CBG that looks like it could have belonged to someone 'back in the day.'

I like the way you go back after ones you don't find right and mess with them again. I like doing that too. I keep learning more too.
