acoustic first, then the mag under the metal, then the rods in the bridge. It`s kinda like a learn as you go build...lol. But it is fun and the sound is unique...lol.

Sounds great Randy! I didn't realize how deep the body was. I thought it was just the washboard. Fabulous box. Love the drone string.

This sounds like the CBG version of the medieval/Tudor Harpsichord - not very musical, but has its own unique sound - well done great build! (-:

thx guys...yeah think i`ll make a guitar scale fretboard, since it`s just screwed on at the fret markers i can switch fretboards in and out. Drop it to a 3 stringer
