Thank you Will, Maddog, Greg, Monterey, and Pick! Yah Will, liquid does seem to be the running theme at the moment . . . I agree Maddog, old and new mix pretty well, and as you know I love your work! Unc, I've not tried banjo tuning yet but have been wanting to get some finger picks and try learning, this guit may just be the motivation I've needed

DADF#  - I will give that open A a try.  I have done ADF# on a three.   You might also like DGBD- banjo tuning.

Greg, Patina?  isn't that a woman in a blues song?  'Patina, Patina?   Where you been so long?'

I love it,162- that is one cool guitar!

Love It!!! As you know I like to mix old with new, I just like the pop the new gives the old .

Are you specializing in liquid container gits?  I love this one.

Scale length is 23" and I've been switching between DGBe and DADf# tuning, it sounds good in both
Comment by Uncle John on August 28, 2015 at 3:05pm

I agree, the old and new mix works great.  I think that is in part due to you keeping it visually simple.  Really nice work.  Glad it sounds good.  More questions... How is it tuned?   It kind of looks baritone uke scale or tenor guitar scale.
