I was actually thinking a solid six string might be my next build as well. Looks like this one came out really nice. A great performance as well James.

James, it seems many of us builders rush through our builds like we’re on a high production schedule at a factory. You’re taking your time and doing it a little at a time paid off. Big Red sounds like your dream guitar come true. Not a Friday afternoon “Rush Job”. Besides, trying to make a living making Cigar Box Guitar’s ain’t easy. Making a dream come true is Very Hard (darn near killed you), But worth it. Thanks Mr. O.

Thanks, Dave it's a great guitar very easy to play exactly what a 3 fingered player needed  It plays as good as My Gibson Les Paul These Guitar Head Gold Rush pickups are great even Hotter than the Gibson Pickups.
