This is the final version of the Cup 'O' Jo guitar. We increased the size of the neck and hand shaped it to a nice comfortable shape. The original small neck did not fit my gorilla sized hands. I got a good price on some enclosed chrome tuners which is a nice step up on this type of build. I used medium sized fret wire. (will never use small again). I get some questions about the use of the flying bridge. I notched the neck at that area to give me space to adjust the action. I also cut the top section of the bridge pretty thin and used a jumbo fret. Just make sure you have clearance between the neck and the bridge.

I like it Ron! Interesting approach to a flying bridge.
I heart this one, Ron. Flying bridge seems a good idea.
