Cheers Gary. I wanted it as simple as possible. No cutting, no finishing, not even measuring. I used a drill and screwdriver. All by eye no measuring anything. Built it in 45 Minutes (stopped for a tea break!). You can see a video of it here on CBGNation. The wood´s not even entirely dried out yet so I expect it to crack and shrink a bit more.
Hi Gary. No its a two string Guitar. Tuned G and D. Scale length of 26" was determined by the driftwood that I found. I have made a tin can bass previously but used a reclaimed neck. Planning a two string bass soon though as I have a few nice old bass pickups I want to use !!

Jim - maybe you spent 45 minutes, but how long did Mother Nature spend working the wood!?!? Great!
Oh yes. Very cool. I guess you didn't burn out on the project half way through.

OK. I still like it. Thanks for the response. Love the driftwood and it looks like you didn't screw it up by changing it.

I really like it. Totally unique. Is it a 30" scale? Bass strings? Is it ok to use regular git tuners on a bass?
I will soon be building a 2 string bass chugger. Mine will be a little more on the traditional CBG style.
That is pretty cool.
