Lord Clinton Build # 4 (bottom)

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.
