Pretty nice builds. Only thing I would recommend is doing something to keep the strings from cutting into the neck on the tail end. It is tough to keep a guitar in tune when the strings slowly cut the neck wood. I like to use a piece of fret wire placed right at the string holes. Very effective, nicely aesthetic and it helps your confidence about fretting should you choose to make guitars that way at some point.
i use pop rivets for tail ends, they're cheap and work great! (-:
nice builds, Shawn!
Bicycle spoke nipples work good too, and come in a variety of colors.
agreed .. the eye sleaves off a pop rivet work well too .
The market is flooded right now with fret less builds, just go on ebay [ cigar box guitars ] pages and pages of builds.
yeah .. but his price is right . ;-)
weird thing is .. my sliders sell better than my fretted models .. and im not alone in saying that .
the old timers and traditionalists seem to go for the sliders or fretless (its not like you could order frets online in the 30's depression era etc ) and the newbies or beginners that cant play regular guitar well get into cbgs for that reason and prefer sliders also .
a year ago i would have bet on the fretted ones selling better ,, thats why i added them ..
im actually thinking of discontinuing my fretted models at this point .
>:-E
lol, .. oily .. i doubt that, . bobby pin sales prices have soared cause of you ;-)
i may try building one or two "budget" fretless acoustic models and see how they go, knock off £40 on electrics and hardware though a large part of my build budget is time! (-;
