Very nice, just drop the whole thing in there.... Looks great.

I cannibalized my first such build and stole one of the PUs for my lap steel. The box was dreadful; one of those paper-covered things and it never did look right though it played OK.

I'm looking for a really primo all-wood box for a second attempt. Gettin' hard to find larger-sized wood, the cigar stores tend to keep 'em!

thanks for the compliments, the oak box is a cutlery box, but i've used fishing tackle box's, paint box's, jewlery box's, etc, cant find a decent size cigar box anywhere, so i use whatever is a good size,
