Yay! Keep her!

Darn you guys, Dave and Jerry.  I am downsizing my herd and you make it just about impossible to let this one go.   I do like the look.  And it plays nice.  It just lacks a bit in volume.  Adding the 4th string and the low (EBEG#) tuning has helped.  Okay.  It's the only open E git I have and it capoes nicely to open G.  I am keeping it.

I love this one Uncle. Not seen one of yours I didn't like but this one is tops.

LOL, Gary.  Deep!   CBGs and earth balance,  

Thanks, Lonman,  Those are my best.  And I have messed some up a bit in the past.  I think the bigger f holes show better if you paint the underside black.   Seeing it from this angle,, I should have painted some more.

cool, like this, good job on the f-holes

I agree with AGP. I've built two 3-strings with 4-pole Elmar flat pups. In the final analysis, flux is just flux. Plus our efforts have balanced the whole universe of what you're doing here!

Thanks, Jeff.  It is more of a small rebuild. 

Thanks, Alan.   Yup, you and I could be the Pyromania Duet.

Ooooooh! me like Fire :-D ,the maths add up to me 'UJ', done plenty of 3 strings & 4 pickup poles, so it should work fine the other way round  ;-)
