On one of Chet's albums, he uses some strings off a bass guitar & called it the "Octa-bass" was that similar to what you've done here? Sorta,Kinda?

wow very nice. I was interesting in making my first guitar but there are things I was uncertain about such as how I will do the action. where do you purchase your action adjustment rods. Also how did you do those pearl inlays!

Hi Jimmy,
Great to see you on YouTube. You did some work on my Martin 00-18 several years ago. Neck angle and other adjustments. The guitar now sounds great and plays like a dream. It must have impressed someone on the YouTube staff as the attached video was featured recently.
