What strings did you use?

[mjlyam]

@Velkus96 ... the strings were just acoustic guitar 11's as far as I remember - can't remember the make but a 'good' one !! cheers, Mike

[mjlyam]

thanks. This joint is so good I didn't use any glue when fitting the neck assembly to the body !!! .... and it is solid as a rock - held by friction. cheers, Mike

Looks like a guitar one would prize above others and use every day. Beautiful!

[mjlyam]

this was a prototype and an 'improved' one is on its way. I hope maybe to sell one now and again . thanks for the comments, Mike
