Vintage Dunhill box from Darren's museum find, single coil pickup, stacked Fender 250/500k pots, paper-in-oil 0.47 cap. Sounds pretty good, but I'm still working on the tuning. Thanks to Darren for sharing his haul and to Bug for donating the cap :-)

Thanks Suspect. I have an aversion to paying for wood because so much gets thrown away. The neck is made from a laboratory bench top that my Dad reclaimed in the 1970s !

Great looking cbg with some top-shelf details. I really dig the reclaimed drawer fingerboard too!
Comment by Diglydog on November 30, 2012 at 8:23am
Thanks Dave and Hippy Chip. The headstock is just veneer on oak. I think the fingerboard is mahogany - it was made from the side of a drawer that I dragged out of a skip (dumpster). The cigar box is gloss varnish on the original finish but it revealed slight natural sunburst effect on the lid, which was a bonus !

Wow, some pretty wood here. Love your headstock styling. Beautiful work....
