    So if you got a hollow body kit and replaced the soundboard with numberplates welded together to form a skin, would that be classed as a resonator?

    Cheers fellas.
    @ Simon got the neck from Ads.Was a spare he had lying around. It's from a PBG-1. One of the Andrews on the forum just entered one in GOTM.
    @ Rabz it wouldn't be a resonator as they have a cone below the cover needs many holes in it

    here's pics after first colour coat, haven't decided on the final shade of blue but will wet sand and get another coat on today. Headstock needs sanding back was the end of a can of a darker blue and wasn't spraying too well.
    The plywood box at the bottom of the body pics is for Wayne's CBG style number plate axe in progress
