My fifth build

Posted by James A OBrien on April 9, 2015 at 9:00am

The most confident build I've done. I went real slow and careful; considered all my previous mistakes and avoided them. I went fretless because it's the most enjoyable to play for me. It feels like skinny dipping to me. Three strings tuned to Open low G, with "WHAT A GUY" carved into the board. It has a three string Ted Crocker pickup I bought in 2011. It's made from a deep Jaime Garcia box, because my nickname is Jamie. Maple neck, no staining or sealing but I think I'll do that in my next build. I no longer feel like a beginner with this build.

I am open to feedback of any kind. I thrive on constructive criticism. There's a buzz on the middle string in this video, if you know a good way to eliminate buzz, let me know. Anything else? Let me know,

OpenG, fretless, garcia, jaime, string
