six string

Posted by Better Trees on March 6, 2014 at 2:18pm
First six stringer. Recycled old garbage custom kraft neck. It was bowed bad, ultimately I couldn't use the frets past 12 so I just cut them off and threw in a thin piece of Spanish cedar from a box with a red abalone inlay. Nut came with the guitar. Going to replace with bone. Saddle/bridge is temporary; just checking my frets before I carve a piece of ebony and throw a bone saddle on it. Strings ground on the brass plate that is keeping them from cutting the edge of the box. First magnetic pup build too. Prewired C.B. Gitty pup.

    Thank you. I'm kind of proud that I managed to do something with that poor old neck.
