This was a 2 string that had nice tone, so I converted it to a 3 string- my current favorite set up. It has a short, 22inch scale. It has a buzz that seems corrected by using a capo.... Nice size, excellent volume and great fun. I LIKE this one.

The blue is just craft paint. I wanted to remove it to relic the piece.
Jef, I am a recent fan of zero frets. I use a jumbo for the ZERO and mediums for the rest. I think here the buzzing comes from lack of break from the nut to the tuners. The peg head is too short. The buzz is small and maybe I can put a string retainer on the middle string to improve it. Will try that.
what did you use to make the blue on the stock. My 3rd build will be for my son and his theme he wants was simply, "blue". so I have some design going for it, so you can imagine I am interested in the blue stock. Thanks.

Maddog has that one. I remember the White Owl and Muriel Cigar commercials on TV. Thanks, Jerry.

this is really cool... if the capo is defeating the buzz i'll bet you your nut slots are too deep, try a zero fret sometime
