Thanjs to Mark for making me believe I can do this.

Have a year ago I thought this would not be possible to do.

So this is the first result. Could be better but works just fine 🙂

WOW! Great design - thanks for sharing...I'm glad I helped in my own small way but I know it must have been hard work - well done. Excellent job for a first build - remember there is no such thing as perfect - the next one will be MUCH easier... I bet our others members would love to see some pics of the back (I would 😎 )

Measure twice, cut once...

Brilliant work.

I love the inventiveness of bass builders.  For some reason it seems to be more acceptable to have new/different designs on basses than on guitars.  
That one looks particularly interesting.  Please share some more details of the build.

May thanks for your feedback.

This was ideed a scary operation.

 

Some more pics here, also from the back.

The neck is maple and some sort of nut (that was a fretboard).

The string retainer at the back is one of many "OMG, was I drunk..?...probably"s...

The Pot-Cover is magnetic, as I was too stupid to do a wide enough edge on the cavity for the cover to sit on or any screw to fit in...

The list/count of mistakes is 35 

I hope not to do at least half of them next time 😉

@hootmacher It’s wonderful, what a superb creation. You are inspiring me to design something crazy and have fun making mistakes building it. I have built quite a few ordinary guitars and there are still many more I want to build but I must start getting more creative in designing and building unique instruments. Thanks for the inspiration.

Thanks so much,

I feel much better now... 😉

especially as I had at least...mixed feelings after this first attempt, to be honest.

This is a nice push towards further non-standards.
