Thanks,Chris B.,Chris I.,and Bo. I really appreciate the nice things you guys said. Chris Ivey, this is only the second reso I've ever built and I am not related to Mr. Rudy Q. Jones. I would be thrilled if my resos turned out to be half as good as I've heard his are. My first guitar is pretty much the same as the one I have posted although I did make a few improvements.

P.S. Here are some pics of my first reso.
