well gang, here's my latest offering, a short scale narrow necked guitar for a 7 year old son of a work collegue.
The Oak back & sides were free.
as was the mahogany for the neck & the walnut for the binding & bridge.
All scrounged from my local friendly shop fitter.......
The top is an AA spruce one from stewmac, (I asked for any with figure and they sent me a few goodies) fingerboard is maple cut at the 2nd, dots are turned from a rosewood offcut, and bracing was (believe it or not) the stick that a high-jump bar came taped to in the post!!!
even after the tuners go in, and the bone nut & saddle, I reckon this'll have cost less than ?60 inc post for all the bits.
cant be bad for that!!
There are 2 coats of Danish oil on here, I think another 5 or 6 will see it strung up.
