I don't know what number to call this build? I've made a plank Diddley Bow, a Canjo and a 2 string CBG, but that was just a test run really, made with a cheap bit of pine and a box I didn't really care about (having said that I love playing it!!)
This one feels like my first "proper build" as it has a wooden box that I like, and a maple neck.....and of course the Bob Harrison pick up, which is what prompted me to make it!!
I made a saddle and the bridge and nut are made from unbleached bone.
I was pretty slow building this, but am really pleased with the result!!
If you haven't already, check out Bob's website!
