Hello guys.
Last night went to the movies to watch "Pasolini" , and on the way out, in this boring neighborhood of mine, there was not a single bar open, just the local pool hall. Dreadful music, expensive beer and not a female in sight. What was I to do? follow the guitar maker instinct and start small talk with the bartender in order to find out about what is it they do with their damaged cues.
I lucked out and now I have four slightly damaged pool cues waiting to be used as guitar necks. But I have never done anything of the sort. Only ukelele type small guitars.
Any suggestions?
thank you in advance. Hugs from Barcelona

the twin pool cue neck is a winner - also doubles up nicely a a weapon in a bar fight lol
depending on the wood .. it sounds safe as 4 one string diddly-bows to me regardless.
any more strings , and i'd double the cues and make 2 2 or 2 3 stringers etc .
a hose clamp will make a nice diddly nut for ya , even has a groove in it .
other nut applications like this, for more strings, are handy too. maybe 2 center holes tho , for 2 cues .
Good idea. I think I will put two of them together, one fretted and the other unfretted. Two of them have the same pattern, the third one is a beauty; all chocolate brown and smooth, broken at the tip, but that does not matter for me. That one will do a pretty diddley bow.
Will check on the hose clamp. Thank you.

That is a single neck/ twin neck double neck. hehehe. Triplette
That box looks sweet. I love it when they come without paper. Found a box of Don Julian no 5 the other time and made a four stringer that sounds like a banjo.
Thank you. Have a nice weekend.

sure , and one more for the nut end
