If anyone is interested in the nylon-strung three string guitar I now have the construction print available at my website. I've also added 40 photos of the building process and I'll be adding verbiage as time permits. At least I've got it up!

Just a note to say I've added a YouTube video demo for the nylon strung 22" three string guitar at my website page detailing its construction:

Thanks much. Have a go at it! Part of why I did this one was to demo how easy it can be to knock out a usable instrument without expensive materials and without any excessive need for skills.
Eventually I'm going to post a how-to on using the body assembly technique to make your own uniquely sized or shaped "cigar boxes" to serve as a basis for the cigar box makers that might be wishing to make something a little different.
Randy,
That's really a lovely instrument!
Clearly your lutherie skills are far beyond my nailing old cans to recycled planks, but I'm intensely jealous.
I've got to try making a quick-and-dirty box guitar using the three "treble strings" you suggest. It won't be pretty, but we'll see what happens.
