I had a thought last night that we could do away with the cabinet hinges and get a "cleaner" look but maybe slightly less ornate. Rather than have the strings threading though the cabinet hooks, why not drill holes through the box lid and neck wood? Then the string could be mounted by threading them through the bottom of the wood, up through the lid and across the fret board. More like a normal electric guitar? -- [[user:ciaran.mooney|CM]] | I had a thought last night that we could do away with the cabinet hinges and get a "cleaner" look but maybe slightly less ornate.

Another option would be to continue the neck of the guitar past the end of the cigar box as per the original video we saw. Also, I've seen some rubbish hinges at £2 type shops, and there's a hardware store that I'm hoping to check next week. The main things I'm aware of that we're still short on now are neck wood, hinges and screws for the guitars, and potentiometer/rheostats for the amps... -- [N] | |||
