Skinny necks work better for me right now so I built this simple fretless with piezo and tuned GDg.

Plays and sounds pretty good, not great. I think maybe it wants heavier strings then the light electric strings I put on it. And a lowered nut and a new saddle. Some day....

Ha!   It looked like a bat too, but I thought it was too skinny.

It's a Derek Jeter souvenir bat.

Thanks, Wes.  Jb, you too?   That neck looks great.  Is it a pool cue?

Looks good. Making them skinnier myself. Hard to get arthritic fingers around the now. Working on one now. 3/4"  diameter at skinny end.

Hand is no better and the x-rays showed the area of arthritis and inflammation to be too big for a shot to work.   I started playing yesterday and today and it seems to make it no worse.  I can play my cbgs, uke and mando- the hand draws the line and says NO to six string.
