Thanks Derek. Glad Glad you like it. I'm discovering that I need to learn about intonation still though. After changing and rechanging the string height and trying different bridge heights I can't seem to find that happy medium. Either I get fret buzz because it's too low or it's ubfrettable past the twelfth or fifteenth fret. Still, as many have said, it looks good and I've always got the slide option. It's all a learning curve. :) Thanks again.

Thanks Dave. I need to let it rest rather than being impatient and trying to still play too. So I'm told three or four times a day lol. Poor Dani must be going crazy listening to me complaining about not being able to play. Thanks again.

Heal that paw Bear. Hope it feels better soon.

Thanks very much Nancy. Just wish I could play it. Damaged my wrist yesterday and I'm strapped up with a compression bandage, wrist support and orders to rest it. Oh well, at least it should heal quickly enough and it's already not as painful as it was. Cute paw bear there!!

Thanks again Les. Long may the homemade instruments reign too. I appreciate your comments and comments like that help me keep on :)

Bear,  I guess we all play to our strengths.  You should see me trying to put up a guitar hanger, it would probably make you cry.  Without all these clever people (like you) making these wonderful instruments, folks like me would have nothing to play.  I think it's great that a world once dominated by greedy retailers is now back where it belongs - in the hands of the people.  Keep on keeping on!!

Thanks very much Les. I potter about with them and it's usually pure luck that they sound good but I'm doing a lil dance at your compliment. Thanks again.

Thanks Dave. This one was nearly all found and salvaged pieces. Tin from the second hand market for £2, neck was part of an old pine bed, fingerboard from a picture frame for £1, bridge from bits laying about. I think the only proper bits are the string and tuning peg. Thanks again.

Thanks Wes. Glad you like it. You're all so good to me. I'm like the student that got the gold star and smiley face stickers at school!

A compliment from Daddy Long Les! The diddly master. Pretty good there Grey Bear! Good acoustic sound. Nice tin. Smooth playing.
