    Shiner,
    She's such a beauty. I think you are 100% right. For a while just play her, don't do a thing. Once you get a better feel for her then decide what, if anything, you want to do. Funny, how doing nothing is very often the right thing to do.

    Great idea .The pots being placed where they are is the problem.I have even seen the knobs (wheels) inside the soundhole even with or right on the edge underneath

    Now that's a thought Dread. I still have the original pick guard so I can always take her back to stock as long as I don't make any permanent modifications. Installing a new pick guard certainly wouldn't be permanent.

    Heh, heh, unfortunately most of my projects end up there at one point or another Kazz.

    Yeah, don't do anything but turn up your amph more! You gotta get some screaming solos out of that thing that are louder than it is acoustically! (Maniacal laughter fades into the distance. LOL!!) Looks beautiful! Can't wait to see what you decide to do ultimately, and of course, to hear some clips. :-)
