A few more hours and hopefully I'll have strings on her. And a few more hours is all I have, I've got to fly to Rhode Island tomorrow for three weeks and the clock is ticking.Might have bit off more than I can chew for a two day build. lol

Well I hope you're having better luck than me SS. This non-open tuning stuff seems really unnatural to me. I'm used to always hitting drone strings, trying to play a melody without them sounds so empty. Oh well, I guess I could learn some chords and how to sing... maybe even try playing something other than a 12 blues. lol
Thanks UJ! I got her together and strung up around 1am so she's heading to RI with me. I still need to add controls, fret markers and brass corners but that's stuff I can do in a hotel room. It's playable as it is right now though.

Yes sir, I just need to learn how to play something on it first. It's tuned DGBE, unfamiliar territory for me.
