I've really been enjoying building and learning to play these crazy 3 stringers, heck I've even sold a few. I started building to hopefully finally be able to play a stringed instrument. While I love the " build with what ya got" motto I wanted to build a more traditional type guitar that I could play. So let introduce number 11.
It has African mahogany sides and back,cedar top with maple binding. The neck is maple with a fret-less walnut finger board. The fret lines are cut in and filled with rock hard wood putty. The scale length is 25in. with a tail piece I made and floating bridge. Inside I used mahogany ladder bracing and kerfing. The nut and bridge utilize beef soup bone, finally I sprayed automotive clear coat as a finish. Thanks for looking. Oh yea It plays beautiful.
