Hi Do you have the facilities to make acoustic 6 string guitars. But here comes the differece I am looking for,I would like a 3 string acoustic guitar.Paul Boyle me teacher tell me of the qualiry of your work.I have just used a 6 string travel guitar and altered it to a 3 string ,but I am afrai my work is not that good.My wife has decided I will not be altering anymore I am 74 and not that well and my music has become my life.I hav on order a 6 string chinees acoustic only 49 pounds wich i was planning to aulter but I don't think I will man age it,My queastion is would you be willing to alter it for me or make me a traditional acoustic 3 string.I am not botherd about tone but would like the spound board to be made from spruce ,I realise this is a lall order but after what I have heard fom paul about your work I thought you would be the best guy to ask.Even if you just saw the neck of and remove the bridge and made it something like it would be good.I enclose a picture of the guitar I have bought.I rialesa this is a long message but just had to explane my situationRegards Mal (Hull)
