Wonderful build! Those two top strings give a very cool sound that remind me of something.... but I'm not sure what. Anyway it sounds great!

thanks John, I'm loving the sound and I'm sure there are some songs in that box just waiting to come out : -)

It looks good.   Ooh.  Sounds even better.    I think you have a new friend and player.   Might bring some new songs out of you.
