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

Hello all. Just finished a 3 stringer and think that will prolly be the bulk of what I build from here on. I'm digging it.

Sam and Diane, thanks for the kind words.
I am traveling in UK and Europe right now - so I can't get new photos up of the headstock. Admittedly the ones I uploaded only hint at the work - camera phone!

My little 3 stringer - "Stringfellow". I finished this in February, and can't keep my hands off it.
I have yet to finish a couple of details - archtop-style pickguard and minor trims.
