I realise that I’ve omitted to update my profile ... so far I’ve build :
2 ukuleles & 5 cigar box guitars
not including other instruments I had build a long time ago (40 years or so 😯) : 1 Renaissance Lute and 1 Epinette des Vosges (french version of the dulcimer)
I’ve also build two solid state micro-amplifiers and a valve one - base on a kit and housed in a 1930 radio cabinet.
Incidentally I’ve also repaired an Italian mandolin a friend of mine had unfortunately broken !
My new projects would be : a mocking 2 strings Fender Pbass, a Diddley bow for my grandson, a steampunk style guitar and a new valve amplifier !
cheers Didier
PS I promise to update my photo gallery ASAP 😎

Hi everyone,
I’m very happy to be a member of this awesome community; many thanks for welcoming me in !
Cheers
There is also a Scale lengths group here with different fret scale charts?
That question about Diddley bow measurements, you can use the same dimensions & scale length as a regular cbg? As to what string or what kind of you want to use, is purely preference? (wound,plain,nylon,bass,etc.) D & G are popular tunings for them, but there are no rules when it comes to one string :) cheers!
You start with one but end up making a lot of these mad guitars. Have fun and bon chance mon ami. T-belly ( uk and Indre )
