Thanks Paul ,, had seen this and understood what it was ,,just wasen t real sure how to make it work ,, gotcha and again Tks ,, will build me one this away
Thanks Richard, I'm guessing that your asking about the fret spacing on the top and bottom boxes that seem to be missing some of the frets, so I will address that. These are fretted so they play a diatonic major scale, do, re, mi,fa,so,la, ti,do. And you're right it does make them a little easier to play. As far as the placement or spacing of the frets you can copy the spacing on a regular guitar but you leave out the 1rst,3rd,6th,8th,13th,15th,18th,and 20th fret. I use a 25 1/2 scale length like you would find on a fender stratocaster or telecaster guitar and the strings are .023,.014 and .010 size.(low to high) and tune it D A D. You can learn all about this type of instrument at this site, strumstick.com. This site is where I went to learn about it. Good luck.
