open G it will be tune in ,thanks for the time to look and coment on thanks
Thanks so much Richey! I appreciate it. As far as the name. There were a few other people out there with my name and our stuff was getting mixed up on iTunes, so I decided to change it. It's my girlfriend's favorite flower and I'd always loved the word/name Iris so I decided to just go with it. It seems to catch people attention and confuse the hell out of them haha!
Hi, Richard. Thanks for taking a look at my photos. Here is a link to what I have found to be a useful site for guitar wiring: http://1728.org/indexfun.htm. Just go to this page and under the section on electric guitars there is a link to diagrams for series/parallel master switch. There are also many other diagrams that you may find useful.
Ok Richey,
I found the place to comment back. Yes I'd very very interested in a how to. Your ideas and help are extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time.i just got a few boxes so I'm pretty excited to try the stuff you've explained. The headstock part I may skip until I get better or fully understand what size pieces to glue etc...
thanks Richey Kay, for the comments. and to think i done that one 30 years ago,forgot all about it, got some nice builds upthere, you do your own pick-ups awesome! some wood=shop! big industrial Machinery Mick Donavan LOL !!!Greetszzz .A.D.
The original chair leg wood width was 2.5 inches. The bridge is a 1/2 inch banjo bridge with standard spacing. The scale length is 19.75 inches. It does not have a truss rod.

Thanks bunches Richey! I have been singing the Beatles song when I am 64 all day lol now I am as old as UJ!!! Yikes
Thanks again Richey.Let me see your version of that box when you've finished it
Glad that taping worked out well for you, it's a lot more cost affective than trying to shield a whole cigar box.
Thanks again Richey
