3-string tuned DAD, dual piezo, 23" scale. Walnut fingerboard with ebony stain, fully fretted. Fret "markers" were done by scraping the stain down in 3rd, 5th, 7th, 9, 12th, etc positions to lighten the color. Maple neck sprayed Hunter Green to match box, then clear coated. Exceptionally poor attempt at pinstriping. The headstock groove was somewhat dictated by the tuner strip as the string holes were at the ends of the posts, rather than futher down and I was too lazy to do a scarf joint on this one.
Box has inside corner bracing, 3/4" brass grommet sound holes, brass corners, brass string ferrules, ebay bridge, bone nut.
Better tone than I expected. I have three more of these boxes because the wife liked the color. Not sure what I'm going to do with them.
