Fetched my SRV Strat back today after having 12s put on and a set up to suit standard D.

Couldn't resist this little fella, don't know what to do with it with its odd fret spacing which I think is minor pent and it's tuned to E B E, but it's just a bit of fun eye candy for my man cave wink.gif Made by a local bloke in the way a plantation worker would have knocked one up wink.gif I might have a go at making one myself, apparently it's becoming quite a hobby thing.

Congrats! I never actually played or even watched a video about them till now smile.gif

Quite interesting about the E B E seems to be very versatile and a no-brainer to play with. I watched 1-2 video's and seems fun smile.gif

Got to leave it for a few days, it's been hanging up in the shop so need to be sure anything is dead on it, can't spray anything on the neck as it's untreated wood.

To be honest, I haven't got a clue what to do with it, bottleneck is my first guess but if i retune it I it can be played fretted. I'm sure I'll learn something on it that will teach me something about the normal guitar neck.

It was only £69 so not bad for a bit of fun. Loving the way the nut and bridge are pieces of all thread wink.gif

We arrived at a figure of £90 all in with the setup on the Strat that included strings, even though it started with him just asking me to pay for the cigar box and nothing for the Strat. Like I said he's very very fair but too fair for his own good. Lovely bloke. Very skilled if not officially trained luthier.

Cheers

That looks pretty cool, Phil. I wish my cigar box ukulele had a pickup.

I played on one of those slide guitars while I was in Vicksburg, Mississippi!

You get quite cool sounds out of those!

If there is one regret I have, is not getting one of those smile.gif

That looks really cool. I've never gotten the chance to play one but it looks like fun. about as authentic as it gets. I love how it's using a screw as the nut. Its taking every day stuff that would get thrown away and making musical instruments out of it. How much do these things cost?

Mine was £68 but it has a pickup so maybe cheaper as full acoustic. Mine uses a piece of all thread for both nut and bridge wink.gif

These are really creative in terms of how they are built. Does anyone else have something like this? I'm guessing KEN does?
