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

i delivered two 3-stringers, today...simple, EZbuilds i call em...
Arturo Fuente Boxes, 21 to 24 inch scales, unfretted, nylon strings..
very quiet,but beautiful voices...
can play at the sunrise and not disturb anyone.

i espouse Crow's building philosphy, so i'm keeping it slow and simple... except for boxes, though--- i'm craving more and i have at least 100...oy this beloved addiction!!!!

and so... i thought i'd officially join this group.
also,JM,everyone who sees our hears our RedDog "Delta Tramp" gives it high praise.

Hi group! I'm precisely at that point. I found a Strat set as a really really great bargain and, I was wonder how good it would be on my 3-string cbg project. You said above that these are by far the best ones and I like the sound your guitar produces so much, but I'm some lost on which pick up type are you using or are you talking about.
