When I play one, the other ones get jealous. :-)

Yeah, I have to rotate myself as I feel they kinda get lonely.

I guess my enthusiasm for building is because of being a newer member. Every time I complete a cbg I learn a little, every time I read a Forum or look a Photos, I learn a little more and I just want to build another one and another etc. The more I see , the more I want to do. There are some great builders on this site and I am inspired by all of them. When I start building great maybe I'll slow down, nah, it's too much fun.

I'm still on my first build. A 3-stringer. I imagine when I have an arsenal I'll take 3 or 4 on the road with me and play em for folks. The next two will probably be another 3-stringer tuned differently from the first and a one stringer...

Some of them were duds that didn't turn out very well, so instead of making a bunch of clunkers, I got selective on what I want to build. At first I was geeked up so that I was just building one right after the other. Now I put more thought, and time into them.

Like Shane, I play every one of them. Each one has it's own voice, as it turns out.

Donated to charity events, sold at art galleries, presents, custom sales,ebay, music shops, cigar divans, memorabilia shops, pizza joints, recycled and reverse engineered :) The hobby doesn't go away - much like playing the guitar it is to be practiced until it is found to be good and then improved upon from there (hopefully). A builder is always searching for a new or alternative way to make their ideas come into being..some of those builders are actual bonefide geniuses. Bringing the unusual into the regular world of lutherie for me is the real appeal - one man's trash etc

So far I've tried to make then to serve different purposes for me. I have 2 3-Stringers, one tuned to G one tuned to E. I have a 4-string tenor guitar that I absolutely love (I built this one because I've always wanted a tenor but never could justify spending the money). The only thing I've gotten rid of so far was a 2-string bass that I built for and gave to a friend. I plan to build another one for myself. Right now I have a 6-string lap steel in the works. I also am planning a 5-string canjo in A (who needs a capo when you can build another instrument?).
