    Thanks John, yes I thought about bottle caps, I think I would prefer wooden ones. Will see what I come up with. May also have some brass lying around that I could use. Will have a scrounge around and see what I come up with.
    It sounds good with the humbucker in it too. [emoji41]

    Decided to change this to a fretted guitar, made a new neck and fretboard. First time cutting fret slots, I used a square and ran the saw against it to keep every cut in the right place. Turned out pretty good.







    Still need to make some knobs for it and finish coating the box. The neck and fretboard sanded down to 2000 grit and then oiled, smooth and silky.

    Those control knobs look really good. A pretty classy lookin CBG.
    Now its just 12 bars and 3 chords, then the urge to build another.
    Regards
    John
