  • dude that is cool,if somebody ask ya tell em kurt-n-rod made the neck fer ya. gonna be awesome i can tell fer ya first d-bo.now ya gonna want ta make more of them fer sure cause i made one then the next thing i knew i had ta make about 7 or 8 of them before i put on the brakes to build something with more than one string. they are great fun ta build those d-bow,s are yep.
  • Thanks Ben i went with a similar method that i mentioned to you before but the neck only goes into the box 85mm and i added neck angle so the pickup can be stood a little more proud from top of the box i drilled the Sycamore spine first then inserted the neck and cut a slice from the top of the block and neck at the same time so the neck just sits above the top of the box (all before i glued the spine in ) in the hope that it can be played slide or Fretless ? - let you know if it works out ???? lol!

  • Cool - good choice with the 30mm pole too. I used same on the primal diddly and it feels sooooo much better, plus you can afford to take a little more out to squeeze ya pup in :o)
  • Hi Roger , yes your right mate it's 30mm Curtain/Drapes Pole , cant wait to hear it myself , thanks for the intrest mate , hope your keepin well
    juju :-)
  • That neck looks bigger than 1"
  • Can't wait to hear it cause I got a one string pup from Philip Eggers just waiting to build it.
