<p>Hi Shane,</p>
<p>I've got some pretty good plans for the Bass Canjo that I submitted to Gitty's customer gallery.</p>

<p>I was wondering if you were interested in adding them to your knowledge base. But I didn't see an easy way to send you a message. So hopefully you will see this and E-mail me.</p>
<p>Best regards,</p>

<p>I am just starting out and want to know what is the first song I should learn on a 3 string "Tuned to open G". I guess the easiest so I will feel accomplished. I have no music background and wanted to pick up a hobby.</p>

<p>Thanks for any input </p>

<p>String selection can be elusive for many beginners, myself included. It is awesome to get an article and guide that simplifies the decision. I think that your recommendations are valuable for most Readers of any experience level</p>

<p>The neck needs to take the pull of the strings, so the hardtail should be attached through the lid to the neck. You'll need to reinforce your neck as you'll be cutting a lot of it out to make room for the pickup.</p>
<p>Are you going fretted or fretless? If fretless, I'd skip the hardtail and go with a floating bridge, they're easier to intonate, and you can get the action higher... which is easier for playing slide. By having higher action, the pick is less likely to scratch up the…</p>

<p>Planning my first build, Wooden top cigar box, through neck 3 string, electromagnetic pickup. I have ordered one of those Ebay adjustable hardtail bridges and wondering on fixing. I will be easing to top of the neck within the body to allow for the body top to move. Should I attach the hardtail to the (movable) top of the box or fix solidly to the neck or perhaps a trapeze to the tail of the box or...</p>
<p>Thanks</p>
