As always, beautiful work AGP#! Yep, sometimes re-visiting and re-doing, even of course as many do, cannibalizing gits laying or hanging around the shop is the best route. Cool, thx! -Glenn

Done something similar with a 2 String Shetland Gue I built back in Apr 2016, modified it Jan 2023, now a 5 String Lyre :-)

Reminds me of a 1-string harp Glenn! A Diddley Harp? Brilliant…

I hear you Uncle John. Agreed. I also don't always use store bought pups but Gitty had a sale on so... Nice light pallet wood git, got it's own handle :) and meant for an amp. Could add a box but not needed. -Glenn

I am kind of speechless....   It's cool.  It's interesting.  It does not look like it would have started life as a one string. 

Sometimes these builds know what they want if we can just listen to them talk to us.  I built a 5 string banjo last spring and never put the high G sting on it.  I planned to put it on.  But the more I played it, the more it told me it wanted to be a four string guitar.   And it is quite a good one.  Now I need to cut off the neck spot where that short string tuner would have gone.
