That is pure awesomeness... Im going to have to make one for each boy!
Our kids need to start a band!
It is one solid piece of maple that I cut into the rough shape with a table saw and a jigsaw. Then sanded it. The body is made from a Douglas Fir 2x8. It took maybe 4 or 5 hours, had fun making it. I should get better at playing it and gig it (if he lets me!).
Hey, seriously, you guys really made my day with the nice comments. THANK YOU!
I actually expected people to point out all the flaws (pole pieces not lined up with strings, weird scale, etc., etc.). Maybe some day I can attempt an EUB. Anyhow, thanks again!
