Fun stuff...upbeat just the way I like it. Nice melody too!

Good advice. Funnily, the one idea I'd had was 'no frets'! I think I would rather have a guitar specifically for slide than mess with the action on a fretted job. And if I make a second I'm sure the guy who made the beauty above could do me a fretted through-neck. I'll keep the Nation updated!

A box and an idea is a great start.  I recall when I was first building that I lose sleep thinking about how I was going to do this and that on the build.  Lots of folks start complicated.   I think fretless ones,twos or threes are the place to start.  If you want frets, it is a good idea to buy a pre-fretted fret board from Gitty or a good builder.   Remember that the 12th fret needs to be dead center between the nut and saddle.

Thank you John. Guitar made for me, I have to confess (albeit to my specs)- currently plucking up the courage to make my own. I have a box and an idea.

I can't argue with you, Dave- but it would need words first! Them's the hard part...

Nice pickin, great guitar. Just needs a beautiful lady slapping a tambourine on her thigh and shouting your song.
