I'm looking for a cool name. Any suggestions?
.

I think you named it in Post #1, Line #1....A Bouts

Let me know what my prize is!

That's clever. But not terribly descriptive unless you know the story. Sorry, no prize.

Thank you one and all. Tom I am hoping I can get Bill involved in recording something. It's his guitar and he is a very accomplished player with recording facilities.

Paul I thought you would approve of the bone markers.

So here is Bill in the shop picking up and picking on his guitar. Sign of the times don’t you know but Bill does have a socially responsible ethic to go along with his great chops.


I strongly believe this was Bill.
He said that he wanted to get comfortable with the scale length and fret spacing etc before recording anything. When he does it will be a real treat and i will post that for all to hear this little guitar. Bill asked if i had decided what i was going to call it. He said he was going to call it “mine”

I'll be showing up at your shop to pick my new guitar soon. You'll know me by the mask, hat, and dark glasses.

John, you may want to require two forms of ID as well as the moolah!

This turned out really nifty!!!

I am totally jealous of Bill. I would love to visit your shop. Won't be happening any time soon, though....

BTW! I put new strings on THE OVERLORD last night. STAND BACK, JACK!!! This beast is continuing to get BETTER AND BETTER!

Woohoo

Thanks Paul
I think its a most interesting guitar and it sounded better than it has a right to. I’ve been thinking about making a larger version of this shape. And making two different neck lengths to go with it. That way you can have the same guitar with two different scales and number of frets to the body. (Will that work?). (I’m giving Bill credit for this idea)

In previous pictures with no point of reference, the guitar did not really seem that small, but unless Bill is 7 foot 7 inches tall with hands the size of a bear paw, that thing is pretty darned small!

Kind of the opposite of my Big Braz Gun Mitchell coming soon...

But equally nifty
