The Punch Shorter Shorty is named as such because I have a Punch Shorty and this girl is shorter yet. 19 3/8" scale, fretted, walnut/through neck, cherry fretboard/heel, piezo embedded in the bridge. She's fun to play.

Hey Joel, the neck thickness on this one without the fretboard is 1". I started with full 5/4 raw material and by the time I saw it down and run it through the planer I net 1".
Thanks Joel! I'm not sure on the thickness, the git is out at the cabin but I'm going out there tonight so I'll put a tape on it. Suspect Device was wondering about the box size so I'll kill 2 birds with 1 stone.
Most of the necks I make are from 4/4 or 5/4 material, I will angle the headstock also but on this it's a straight cut. Gives it more depth.
Nice one Maddog ! I've made a couple of 20" scale CBG's for grandchildren . I need to make one to keep . Love playing the smaller scaled CBG's !! The head on this one seems to "drop" more than mine . What is the neck thickness , not including the fingerboard ? Thanks !
Thanks so much John! It's a duck decoy weight, the bell is topped by a flying mallard (you can't see it in the pic) so I thought it was appropriate. The short scales are kinda growing on me thanks to you, never paid em' no mind til we started talkin' about em' the other day:-)
Funny you bring up a RiverRat Git, that rattled around my brain a while back. I'm thinkin' a line of RiverRat gits. Kinda along the lines of Picks Swampwitch (but different of course). Whatcha think???
Like that one and what's getting to be the Maddog classic head stock lines. Another good photo. Is that a fishing weight hanging from the bell? How was the short scale? Harder to get right than the longer scales?

Thanks , Maddog ! I'll probably stick with 3/4 " precut stick. But good to know !

I'm actually a member of the RiverRat Association (have been since the late 70's) based in Yankton, South Dakota so I believe I'm qualified. ;-)

A river rat guitar might be cool.
