Eric, I think I picked up that idea from a instructional dvd from Bill Jehle  5 years ago or so. I've found it keeps kids from messing with wires inside and catches peoples attention, not to mention the actual purpose. Hey, it worked on you, didn't it? Thanks.

Thanks Pick, and I do have more work to do to finish the bolt on neck 6 string you saw in other pic's, I just have to make up my mind whether to go electric semi hollow or try to try to include acoustic with another piezo rod & pre-amp. Last year's show, I got a request for a set of git & amp of which, I have since obtained 2 c. boxes (same brand name & similar sizes). I already have the amp one done. Now, to do the matching cbg. Wish me luck!

Thanks John. I've changed it twice already, since it was first built. First I changed from 4 to 5 string and later, at a friends request, I lowered the action by removing the Petoskey Stone and threaded rod bridge, then switching to the bone & rod bridge you see in this pic. There is room for a 6th string but I doubt I'll ever put it on.
