Yup; that's it all right - one of them "Cejillas".

Ran a search for "Chokers" and "Capos" before I posted but came up dry - I figured someone in here would know something about 'em.

I spent hours last night uploading pictures to my photobucket account, composing the rest of my posting, converting about a dozen of my image links to "blue clicky things", fighting with a program that refused to save my text file (and eventually locked up and shut down; fortunately I saved it as an e-mail draft before that happened) - no dice. It simply would not post.

Do they have some sort of a bandwidth limitation for postings here?
It is a pretty long one, as I went into a lot of detail.

Perhaps I'll try breaking it up into serial installments and see if that works any better. Will still post in case anyone is curious as to how I went about it.

INterestingly enough, I had planned to add a leather "foot" and protective neck strap to mine, as apparently is already done to these traditional rigs.

Thanks for the tips thus far all!
