My second completed build, built for the wife because she wants to learn to play. Acoustic fretless 3 string. Maple neck cut from salvaged dresser top. Bridge is a scrap piece of maple with a finish nail, nut a piece from the cut out in the cigar box. She loves it.

She's been interested in learning something.When she saw my first 3 stringer she thought it looked less intimidating than my regular 6 stringers.
I'm getting good at building them now ;)

She's already planning a second one! The neck with the heart headstock is hers. The 3rd one pictured is waiting for nice weather so I can stain and poly the neck as well as a fretboard.

Nice! My wife rejects all my CBG advances and won't even strum one. I'm holding out hopes for my 3 year old grandaughter!
