  2. Very nice. You should make the first image of your Instructable a photo of the final thing too!

    When I posted the instructible, they changed my intro photo. I tried to fix it, but the site won't allow me to edit it. More issues with technology.

    Very cool! I've seen those round blanks at Home Depot and have wondered how they'd be for a body.

    By the way, what's the scale length?

    Yes, I like it, what is the tuning and what is the string gauge?

    It's standard tuning with standard gauge round wounds -
    45 - 105. I'd like to get a set of nylon strings. I thought the string tension would be tight, but the strings have good vibration with a lot of bass.
