  • Real. Nice. Cool. Love the circular string hole detail

  • Thanks, Mr Bluesheart.

  • Nice one, looks great!

  • Thanks Madurobob, get your nipples out!

    Thanks John - It sounds nice and jangly, as well as being pretty loud. No need for sound holes on this one.

  • Super nice.  How's it play and sound?

  • Pretty!  And, you reminded me what an idiot I am.  I've been buying string ferrules for all my builds lately.  All the while, I have about 500 bicycle spoke nipples new in the bag leftover from another project.  D'oh!
