Comment by bairfoot cajun on April 16, 2010 at 4:31pm: i,m no stranger to double neck builds, or cigar box guitar builds,but i have been very busy with my 40 hour job lately,and i still make time in my spare time to build creative things with strings yep.thanks for the extra time allocated for this build. i might just be able to create something very very interesting to make up for what i missed out on in the very recent past.

Comment by Russ Sonny Kemner on April 16, 2010 at 4:07pm: COOL!!! I have done a few double neck builds - check my photo's. I recently came across a HUGE cigar box, was saving it to build a cigar box cello...no joke.. but now I think I should start thinking about creating something totally outrageous.... would a quadruple neck: part mandolin, part ukulele, part dulcimer, part guitar work for this competition?
