Just going through some of my CBG inventory, and happened to stumble over these tuners. With the recent addition of several skeleton keys from ebay, and this nifty box I uncovered, I may have a new theme build in the works! The box lid is pretty thick, so I'll likely add one of my mini-Elmar pickups too! Maybe even go with a bolt-on neck. Any suggestions, Uncle John?

Thanks Unk!  Mentioning you in the description was about details for a "Bolt-on" (Bolton) neck - - I figured you must have invented it!  I looked thru some of the forums here, and I think I picked up some solid pointers from ol' Chickenbone John.  I guess I would ask you for details about a neck-mounted pickup?

Awesome parts, and inspirtation.  Ooh, I like the mini Elmar.  Gary, my only suggestion would be, Don't screw up!   Naw,  best wishes for a nice build.  Well maybe one idea.  Consider a neck mount for that Elmar.
