Comment by Priit Tamm on September 8, 2019 at 6:56pm: OMG! My bad! Please accept my apologies, Uncle John!

Comment by Uncle John on September 6, 2019 at 2:33am: Don't call me Joe. ;) Glad you have the DGB figured out. I have kind of moved on to more DGBE, but I like a bunch of tunings.

Comment by Priit Tamm on September 5, 2019 at 9:32pm: Uncle Joe, exactly! DGB tuning works very well, almost playing like standard guitar.

Comment by Bob "Ambrose" Negus on September 5, 2019 at 8:42pm: A very nice first build.

Comment by Uncle John on September 5, 2019 at 10:52am: Wow, a very good looking and sophisticated first (or 99th) build. DGB is a great 3 string fretted tuning. Slide it, pick it or chord it. I expect you realize that you can look at a 6 string chord chart and highlight the DGB strings and easily play many chords.

Comment by Poorness Studios on September 5, 2019 at 8:10am: Nice lookin' git. Those yellow Montecristo boxes are nice.
