Thank you all for looking and commenting!  Your comments are very much appreciated.

Sorry about the vertical video....it played normally on my computer before loading it to CBN?!?!?!

Unc,  Thanks.  The resonator is from old Lowe and works great.  Well worth the money.

Tim, Glad you liked it man!   Muchas grassyass!   The idea for the body shape comes from my desire to stay true to the box!   (Innuendo....maybe!)  Anyway, if you use the bottom corners and draw straight dotted lines across the flat spots and the one peak on top, you'll have a nice rectangular homage to the simple box shape that we've all been having fun with.  The nice big curve  on top, is for comfort, the gentle arch across the bottom fits either leg, the cutaway is courtesy of a soup can used to draw the arc.  (Remember my Rusty Ruby build?)  Finally, the front, top corner was a nod to the Tele that I can't afford!   Whew!  Guess I might've over thought this one a little bit!  :-}}    You're probably sorry you asked by now!    I have to go look at a map of Mo.!   Now if I could play a fraction as good as you!!!!

Squid man!  Thanks a fekkn bunch!!!!   I'm tryin' hard anyway!

Thanks Bug.  I think it sounds pretty good!   (I might be biased though!)  ;-}}   Trade secret!   Might fall into the wrong hands!   Hint;  black primer paint!

W.M., This build happened off and on over almost a year.  Lots of thought went into it and I took my time with it.   My style is evolving, just wish I had time to build all the great ideas I get being inspired by all the great builders here on the nation.

Thanks James.

Clock,  It was just taking a little nap at the time!
