#1 | | 3 String Name: City: State: County: 10-19-2008, 08:50 PM
Guest
I won a guitar making book at the picnic this year - so here's a three string my son made. I really should get out in the shop more often, shouldn't I?
1/16" SYP, BW and 50lb catfish line - enjoy

Jeff tell your son that is a great job - I wish that I could get my son out to the shop just to make a rubberband gun - Great job

That's really cool, how does it sound??? I like the idea of a three string guitar, trying to keep up with all 6 on a standard guitar is too hard for me.

Honestly Honey, that will cost around $100 $150 $200, and I need a few more tools.

Guitar? I bet it sounds just like a dulcimer when you strum it 
Nice job on the carved head!

That's right it's an Appalachian dulcimer although we are flatlanders Sounds pretty cool danged if I can play it...
Here's a couple of web pics of other dulcimers  
It was a good project, my son did an awesome job with it, but I need to stop keeping SYP around the shop  | |

Since I am a softwood fan I like to see projects like this. Don't let Bas (our resident SYP king ) hear you say that

Great looking project! I wish I had some of that talent.
Jeff, I am looking for 50bf of dry pine just to keep around the shop for painted face frames, etc. If you have it, bring it Saturday!!
Sorry for the hijack!
