Travelling guitar.

Too short or too long? It's hard to tell from your fairly drastic intervention above! :O

[Simon Barden]

It's certainly easier to fit in a travel bag like that.

That's part of the problem... he's cut it twice and it's still too short!

[DarkMark]

It was too long, which is good and bad. The holes in the body prevented me from moving the bridge towards the neck, which was bad. But on the up side it’s now 25mm shorter. Can’t argue with Simon’s logic, haha.

[McCreed]

I have that same mitre saw as in your pic. However, I've never sawn a guitar in half with it!

[DarkMark]

You must get your bridge measurements correct first time.

Fits in my regular o/s travel case. Given it some coats of a water based PU left behind from the previous owner of our house. Not including the initial cost of the left over bits and pieces going into this guitar it has cost me $9 for some wood.

I love a good budget project that reuses otherwise spare parts. Can't wait to hear how it plays.

This thing is pretty neat Mark. Sometimes you just need to take drastic action.

Thanks SM.
Finished.
Broke a string as I thought I was tuning the E string when I was really tuning the D string.
Then broke strings because the tuner holes were too sharp. High E Tuner must still be too sharp because I just snapped it again.
