If you enjoy three string guitars, this is the place!
Hi Folks, This is the group to share everything about the three string guitar.
If you have had problems in the past playing regular guitar, try playing a three string guitar, they are much easier and the have a vintage sound that is super unique and easy to capture that old school blues sound.
There is another website on the net that has a lot more 3 string guitar information. Here is the link to the website 3-string-guitar.com

A Moon Pie gift tin 3 stringer. A 'stealth' P90 from an Epiphone Casino is at the neck and a piezo disc is under the bridge.

My latest three string slide guitar finished today and collected as soon as I'd put the last screw in. I really like how it turned out and the new owner (a personal friend of almost 30 years) was so happy with it he was dancing as I demonstrated it for him.
