LOL, U.C. Thanks.
Thanks, Danny. Who was it that said, "I ain't no role model.? I love to build and can do pretty well if I set my mind to it. Not a top builder, but sometimes pretty decent. What I really like doing is slapping a fretless relic together and not worrying about making things pretty.
The nut was salvaged from some old guitar. I have a box of spare parts and should order some Corian nuts.
Yeah, U.C. a lot of mine have one or more backward tuners and I don't mind them. This being a commission build, I was hoping to avoid that. It's not perfect, but the guy will be getting a good deal.
dang John...the craftsman too? your fastly becoming my role model ..nice work brother
Thanks, U.C. Thanks, Duck. Plays good, sounds good.
There's always something I wish was better. Here it's that the big string is wound from the outside of the tuner so that one tuner turns backward. And I had to use string guides to stop string buzz. I wish now that I had used a screw or bolt for the the nut (instead of the black Corian-like stuff) and then maybe the string guides would not be needed.
Nicely done Uncle John! Betting it sounds as good as it looks.
