These are some of the projects that I’m most proud of.
They fucking better be
Yeah, thanks!!! Mahogany neck with a walnut fretboard and abalone markers. It was for my GF’s father in law, so sadly I don’t have that one anymore. Working on a maple neck/maple fretboard in a white Arturo Fuente box for a co worker now.
Fuente boxes are awesome! Man, your process sounds a lot more sophisticated than mine lol. All my necks are red oak and all my fret boards are yardsticks. Most of my saddles and nuts are all screws, and my strings are held on by hinges from old boxes. And I cannibalized old guitars for the tuning keys and strings. Very rudimentary shit, but kinda like the old blues men used to build them.
Can’t turn away anyone livin the High Life!
I feel like the only rule should be that the instrument should (probaly) have a neck and body, and played with your fingers or a pick. If not, but the post receives up votes, also let it stay.
Ukuleles should be an instant permaban.
I kinda like ukes. Pulling off a good performance on a uke requires the same skills and commitment as a guitar and a well built uke sounds amazing in the right hands. Hell, a shit uke can sound great in the right hands. George Harrison used to travel with his and wrote some of his best songs with it. Here Comes The Sun, for example, is capo-ed at the 7th to emulate a uke.
