Glad you like it Kale! I made a few mistakes and encountered a few challenges: a normal build. It is my “go to” guitar for the moment.

So cool. Nice build Doug.

Thanks so much Ambrose! It does stand out and I was pleased that it went with the plate.

Sweet looking guitar Doug. Love that orange!

Thanks Rich! I’ll admit that I’m a lazy guitar maker, so the 3D printed 2 piece box is right up my alley. Just have to build a neck with my go to tone-wood: the humble Lowes yardstick. I’ll see what I can do for a picture.

This is truly original, Doug.

The orange frets show off nicely. Interesting tail piece and bridge.

I'd like to see a photo of the box inside without a plate attached. I remember you said you can switch plates without removing the stings.
