Hello respected CigarBoxNation community.
Here are pictures of my 'just baked' Guitar, this time with 4 strings.
Shape of body - Fender Tele.
Pick-up - Inductive (as in previous 3 models, made earlier).
Tuning: G D g B
Manufacturing in garage with multiple days-off - took about 3 month of non-intensive work.
Sound examples will be sent later, sorry :o)

Best Regards.

Appreciate your feedback.
Since my latest post on "7 June" I incorporated a few changes in design of the latest instrument. One of this changes: I returned to 3 string configuration by making the low "G" string double, consisting of two "G" and "g" strings laying together at distance of about 2 mm between them. This allows to press both strings with the same finger. So sound seems a bit more interesting. Not dramatically but a bit.
Reason of this move: Playing 4 string Open G tuning seemed a bit complicated. 3 strings is optimal for me :o).
Hi its got the look of a sturdy Fender tele Bass in a integrated crow desighn ,the pickup solution gives it his own style looks ! Nice woody grain !
totally fun...I bet it would record like a champ!
Hi Slow Mick, that's a nice looking guitar, would even look good with six strings. Very much in keeping with the found materials theme.
