At 2:39am on March 6, 2011, JUJU said…: hiya mate thanks for the comment on the Tricone as regards your question about attaching the neck well the box sides are pretty thick anyway as it's a reso the box aint as important as a standatd acoustic as it's the cones that produce the sound kinda like a speaker backwards - the cones fire the sound into the box and the box amplifies it you also get sound from the front side of the cones - coverplate side but this is more high - mid tones - when you play the guitar it's pretty quite from the players position but when your facing the front of the guitar it's loud as shown in the video

heres a pic of the neck inside the box there are two little bracings maybe i did not need these but i added them just incase as i have used heavy Resonator strings on the build 16 - 56 gauge -as with the first reso i build i added a tension bar from the neck to the butt i think this adds the susssssssstain

I lived in San Diego for several years, and striped a lot of SoCal cars and bikes, then off to the desert near Palm Springs for R&R, until I could no longer resist the grandkids. Oh, the SoCal weather is so inviting.

At 3:26pm on September 14, 2010, bairfoot cajun said…: the secret is in the can placement godzilla haaaaaaaa and i also made the coverplate and it was zero cost and you can make your own coverplates too. if you look on my page at the pics i did a pictorial that shows every step i used to make that particular coverplate.if you need any help or any explinations on the coverplate makings i would be glad to help you learn to make them.
