Love the use of materials. Great ideas!

It is a 23.5" scale based upon the length of the piece of maple flooring that I used for the neck.

Paul Craig...there is a single coil for a 3 string in it. I have removed the center of the perfed metal cover to eliminate some interference since the photo was taken.

This guitar is what this whole movement is about ~ taking something that was trash and turning it into something with the power to make music. Very inspirational and extremely well done!
