Quick, fun build. Straight grained pine strengthened with a stout heel and at the 'peg head'.She was going to be "Plain Jane', but she just played and sounded too good for that. Piezo. Loud and clear plugged or unplugged.

Quick, fun and simple are all words people have used to describe me so I gotta love this one! Oh yeah - a pine neck also makes it good to play sappy songs.
Richey, I started with fretless and could not play it. Then played fretted for a long time. Now I am loving fretess. I just had to understand that other than single notes where the first 3 frets would be- it's all slide, basic and elemental. I hope you build and learn to love one.
Another class act John, some real old timey charm about this one. I really need to get round to making a fretless at some point. Who knows, might start one today!

Thanks, Dave. I liked it too. Jim Morris has it now.
Jim. I have not heard anyone call you quick! Sappy sounds are my specialty.
