Plain and simple, built for renowned Worcestershire blue's man Paul Smith.
Two wood fruit bowl ply top mahogany neck with button side markers. Two piezo's under saddle floating nail bridge, single coil mag pup with vol & tone.
Used Danish oil on this one for the first time, bye bye varnish.

Thats my bouy Bob, he is one happy dog.

I am an oil convert, it's the way forward for me.

THANKS. Is your dog grinning? I used to do a lot of gunstock building & always used hand rubbed oil finishes. Several kinds you can use but all are better than sprayed or brushed on stuff for wood finishes. Just a bit more work to get it right, but worth it. Tung oil works well. Painted finishes are a different story.

Thanks Bluesheart, the way it enhances the grain is fantastic, the future is danish.

Hey Bob glad you like it, the tail piece is a sawn off bottle opener. No selector wired the mag pots and jack in the normal way wired the piezo's to the vol pot, all works fine.

I like that, the bowl reminds of the back of my Tater Bug Mandolin. Is that a gaint pull tab stop piece? COOL! How do you have your piezo/mag pickup combo wired? I see no selector switch. I messed around with that combo but haven't had very good results yet. Very nice insturment you have there!

Thanks Linda my imagination has no bounds, just slowed down by ability.

Cheers prof managed to get this one done without to many changes.
