Ahhhhm the bridge. I can only imagine how delicate that is. It also doesn't look too hard to replace.

JUST BE CAREFUL.

[bassrockin]

Amazing! Pretty decent sound too... 

[CrimsonFlagg]

I applaud you sir. You built something that sounds very good and looks very well built

[Appalachianbluegras2]

The sound post in glued into position. It is positioned the distance equal to the diameter of the sound post behind the bridge under the G string. Not at all how the pros do it but it works for me and I'll guarantee you it will never fall down and it sounds fine to me!

Thanks for sharing. I wanna build something like this when I graduate from my wood working class. I play bluegrass and I' m a poor man.

So how did you put the sound post in sir?

[spoonido]

And it's made in the USA! :o)

Headstock and neck are one piece. Since the neck is flat on top it's not difficult to make.

[SuperFenderfan]

is the headstock and the neck seperate

Very well done. I like the simple design and it just goes to show that you can make great projects when you just put your mind to it.
