It has come together but only for a moment. I'll take it apart to get inside the box, change strings, change tuners (one button broke in tune up) and reassemble.

Uncle Ignorent. Has a ring to it. Wrong number though. Immigrant is playing real nice. I think I'll add a peizo. Something simple and unseen. Unseen immigrant. And thanks Maddog.

Nice Dave!

Oh.  I checked on that.  They are saying 'ignorant'.

I sure like it.  You know it would suit me because I get called an immigrant bastard quite a bit.

I wimped out of music tonight. Too cold to drag the immigrant out for a play. I'll just solo by my fire. Not too bad. :^)

Thanks Uncle, Gary. I worked on her today. Went to lighter strings, raised the bridge by adding a thin Maple riser under the biscuit. Filed some high frets to eliminate buzz, rounded the neck from a square neck to a finger pickin neck. Lowered the nut and did setup. I left a somewhat high action for pinkie slide action. It sounds good. Not real loud, but I'll add a pickup later. Tuned it ADA a little higher than the G tuning. The volume and tone improved.

Looks like a keeper, Dave!  Nice!
