This Guitar defines "Home Built"

[Structo]

I was wondering how well he did the fret scale but when he played it, it sounded pretty well intonated.

I was wondering why he didn't make a tail piece which is more traditional than the string through.

Still though, he made it out of one piece of wood which I would be afraid of the neck going wonky.

With that trussrod setup and the neck depth I think it would be safe for .12 sets. Rust never sleeps and epoxy never moves.

The inlaid fingerboard is a beautiful work of art. He would have saved a day or so installing the frets before installing the board. If he had used the lip of the fingerboard channel as binding he could have saved 2 days and hid the seam, but then we wouldn't be quite so amazed at the guitar, just the jiggery..

Jiggery. Is that a word?

Big thanks, it was indeed thrilling.

Hope it's as nice as it looks even though he often went at it backwards and sideways. But with those woodworking skills he could do what he pleases. And, hope that neck stays true and doesn't snap off. Someone for xmas ought to give him a Stew-Mac catalog - or maybe not!
