A relic in progress. The nut is too high and a few other things.
Has anyone tried doubling the middle string on a IVI git? I use the middle string a lot and wanted to try it. Not sure I like the tone. Kind of jingly jangly. Will try it for a while.
Bought the little cone on ebay. The metal pick guard is a happy accident. I screwed up the f hole on that side.
Big box and cone and lots of volume.

Comment by Dave Lynas on June 6, 2012 at 7:56am Hey Uncle John, I've been looking at your page and videos. I love your voice and pickin. I haven't tried to make a movie yet. I need some gear for it. What do you use? Thanks for the great page and good work. ... Dave
Comment by Uncle John on June 5, 2012 at 8:57pm Thanks JP. It's sure in my top 5 for playing.
Comment by JP Swenson on June 5, 2012 at 7:14pm THis is your best build yet Unc. I may be a little biased though. Relics are my thing too. Keep up the good work.
Comment by Uncle John on June 2, 2012 at 6:54pm Thanks Lon!
yup, nice looking one John.
Comment by Uncle John on June 2, 2012 at 3:56pm That's me and that's what I like, Bruce.
Comment by Bluesheart on June 2, 2012 at 2:31pm Really good looking, in a beat up relic sort of way!
Comment by Uncle John on June 2, 2012 at 12:41pm Thanks Jason. I think I may go back and try my first ever magnetic pickup.
Comment by Jason Mills on June 2, 2012 at 9:34am Sweet looking guit!!!!
Comment by Uncle John on June 2, 2012 at 9:28am Thanks Hound. Rustic is my thing... :)
Dave, that cone is small, but I am happy with it. Huh. I hope I repaired a factory made uke yesterday. Reglued the saddle/tail piece. If it does not hold, I may want to make a reso uke.
Clock, you may be right. Sound hole size and number is kind of tricky. I think it's more art and luck than science. It does sound good as it is.
