Thanks Henry. Stepping up my game with the third one. Hope it comes out okay. This is an addiction LOL.

Timothy ~ thought about that but was afraid I'd glue the square to the neck. Came close enough with my fingers....

one of the guys here gave me the tip of using a square to help set the frets, i am using split pins for frets as well..

John ~ With me playing it, not great (I've never even tried to play an instrument until this), but I really dig it. It sounds like... hard to explain really, but a lot more... depth than I expected maybe? The occasional sharp/flat note is interesting (due to the wonky frets), but it grew on me. It was like it developed it's own personality because of it. Plus I could always blame the frets when I missed a note trying to learn! Was VERY impressed on how well the eye-bolt tuners held a tune once I got the strings stretched and worked into the wood at the heel. Will most definitely keep using them for now.

Very cool...  Low tech!  How does it sound?

Lonman ~ Thanks.

Hal ~ Thanks. I haven't settled on a basic design yet, though I like the sound of the neck on top better than the through-the-box guitar I built (sounds like a banjo for some reason). Current one (build #3) is a combination of those two. More of an embedded or sunk in top neck. And yes, I very much have the bug. Can't wait to actually get to build myself one.

Nicely done! Love the subtle graphic elements. Even though I've kinda settled on a basic design, each one is different and, hopefully a little better than the last. Guessing you have the bug now!
