Wait! You're using Unca John's hair for strings, too??!!

 

Is there no end to this madness?

thank you  wes  ;-)

hairy.....!     great idea AP, but i think i'll stick to the ol' fretwire''n'sawdust ...though it could well serve as an excercise for new builders to understand the practice methods of fretting and fret scales, it's so easy to undo and start again... good stuff well done!  (-;

pick,

 

I think your intonation may be off just slightly in a coupla spots. Plus, the fact that there's no video of you actually playing this, on a real guitar, not some faked-up clamp-on that we can't even see,  leads me to seriously question the whole idea.

 

I agree with Clock, you need to be punished for your presumption. I think, perhaps, a little kazoo music, hein?

LOL  .. thanx clock ;-)
