This could be git related or not. So, what's on your workbench at the moment?
I have 4 scarf joint necks in different stages of work.
A 25" scale pine 5 string neck for a Banjo-Res, A 25" scale Red Oak neck for my 6 string Strat-Res build, A 24 & 1/2" scale Red Oak neck for my 6 string Double Cut Tele build and a 27" scale 6 string Baritone Conversion neck for a Modern Strat body I have.

Timothy, that shows great potential as a travel guitar, a modified box allowing a cutaway on the bottom and going to around fret 15/ 16 on the top, overall length just over 700 mm, a great challenge for you
cheers darryl, thats what i was kind of going for.

got this box on watch, guy is in brisbane but wont allow pickup , only post. its not finished and looks a bit rough will need fine sanding but that will loose the lables....and its still $34.50 AUD !!
going to take my time and wait till a box comes around i think.
wow, that's an outrageous price, but to be fair, i haven't bought any boxes for a few years, so maybe i'm wrong
Cigar Box prices have gone up everywhere. Supply and demand you know.
I used to get boxes from local Tobacco Stores for free a couple years ago cause they were trowing them away, now they know that there's money to be made.Our local hardware stores will cut the wood you buy for you. If your local stores will do that all you'll need is some glue and clamps.
Good luck in this build, cheers.
ok this is the latest one. but I have a issue standard strings are too short. looking for longer strings for it.do they make them? need help on this one. thanks
What scale is it? What brand strings and gauge are you using?
I always use standard guitar strings by D'Addario 10 gauge strings and they are long enough that I used them on my 28" scale Dulcitar and my 28" scale Reso-Baritone/Bass builds. Drop tuned of course.
How much space is between the bridge and tremolo?
Made a mini amp from a speaker that was part of a surround system at one time, stuffed in an amp I bought off eBay, made an external battery hookup for easy replacement, on off switch, powered by a 9v battery, amp can take 12v/20a power supposedly, I'd be a little leery about that amperage, but does hae a heat sink, and dual speaker connections if desired.
On a side note, I was chasing down some elusive string buzz, made some fret adjustments, but still couldn't get rid of it, I listened ever so closely to pinpoint the culprit, and it was the Uke tailpiece, it was bent down touching one of the strings
nice little amp.
Cool little amp build.
Problems on a git can be caught quickly, or take some time depending on how many times you look over it. LOL
oh, that was also my very first ever attempt at a you tube video
