No 1 and No 2 together (Roadkill 1 & 2)

No 1 (bottom leftish) and No 2 (top rightish). Now known as Roadkill 1 & 2. In fact although both are playable, neither is completely finished. Got strings on No2 a couple of days ago. Both have similar boxes, mahogany necks, strange unidentified wood for the finger/fret boards. No 2 needs a different bridge with a double piezo built in. Hope it will sound better than the little disc that sits under the box lid at the moment. Anyway, the fretting seemed to work out well enough, which was the main challenge.
