That is something I'd be quite happy to hang on my wall!

I like the way that the bridge is across the red band on the box.

I see that your diatonic has the 6 1/2 fret. Gives more scope for songs.

Happy drinking, ahem, building!

thanks all :) when it comes for family request (most of the time free gift which will only be used as decorative)  i keep them simple; two sting/diatonic with rest from previous builds, unused strings etc

Hilo Greg; for the tuning i do quite random depending of the strings, most of the time G/D ; works good on diatonic i think; or i like to tune them on the same note too, using the last string simply for melody and the first one as a drone string

Maddog, i recently tried the maple Beam.. bleh tasted like cough sirup to me ahah

Looks great, and I love the painted neck.

Just curious, how do you tune your 2-stringers?
