Comment by Al on August 25, 2009 at 4:13pm: if you think the action's too high just play it lap style.

Comment by Low Budget Luthier on August 25, 2009 at 2:36pm: lets git to jammin on that baby!

Comment by Frank Posey on August 25, 2009 at 1:24pm: I got an old elm tree limb that is dryed and seasoned I'm going to put on an old wood amo box for the neck. I'll put a bass PU on a couple of strings and a humbucker on the rest of strings should get areal neat funky patina outa the whole thing. Put a bass amp on the bass strings and reg. guitaramp on the rest, sorta Lowbow style-my fall project. I want it to look primal style like what you build with markers but no fretts-should look totally inspired.

Comment by Gypsybilly Swamp Rat on August 25, 2009 at 12:26pm: The board for the neck is a board of a old Futon, the next 3 or 4 string I am going to do I am going to carve the hole thing. It sounds good but I think the bridge is to high or some shit because when I push down on the strings it don't sound like I think it should but it plays nice with a slide or open strings. I want to put up a video when I put in the pezo trans .You all have been a big help with this and I want to thank you all, some of the comment are grate coming from you all ...I see your work and its all very nice stuff man.

Comment by Frank Posey on August 25, 2009 at 12:01pm: Is that a board or a like -tree limb you used for the neck?

Comment by Frank Posey on August 25, 2009 at 11:57am: Nice again, I like these cause they have primitive look, like somebody in Africa built them.

Comment by Matthew Borczon on August 25, 2009 at 10:51am: Completely sweet Guitar. How does it sound?
