Location: Denmark | I think it's pretty cool. Nice to see that young people actually do learn something not based on computers or global politics. IMO it is projects like this which may form the base for the highest in workmanship. Especially if the ... product ... will be tested and if necessarily corrected. It does look like the saddle could need some trimming.
Kudos. I am pleased to see that there is still hope and a future for humanity. Well at least in the branch of lutherie. |

Location: South of most, North of few | Thanks tpa, I actually have one of those mini Strats in the closet for him for Christmas. I know he's going to like that, and maybe get him interested in acoustics too. I just figured an electric with a narrow neck and light strings would be easier for him to learn on. Also, through an amp like my small Marshall, it makes a lot of noise for very little effort. (maybe too much noise) :eek: |

The Trader doesn't like heavy strings. He could color code the wire nuts as tuning knobs to match D'Addario's color coded ball ends on the strings. :D |

Location: Budd Lake, NJ | The one I first began playing on wasn't a whole lot better than this one; in fact, aside from the fact that mine had two more strings, this one might even be an improvement! I look forward to when the first model with the epaulets debuts. At least it won't be necessary to do an LX version; the body already looks to be radically light-weight. Congrats, Jim and Co.
