I finally found a nice box on ebay but with shipping, it cost me $21.  Where is a good place to find them?  Do the smoke stores have empty boxes.  I am just starting my first build.  I think it's…Continue

Hi Mark,

   I'm glad to have you for a nation friend.  I like the look of your shell casing finger board and the guitar in general.  I used to build neck throughs like you are doing.  I think they are the best first builds and always good for slide.  But some of mine developed neck bow- so I started building heavier in the neck.   I hope yours plays and sounds as good as it looks.

   John
