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!

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

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.

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.

Thanks jugglindan. I’ve obviously been messing around with it tonight. Being so small and portable makes it a lot of fun to play. I thought it might over balance on the neck side but with a decent strap that’s not the case. As the neck is original from a GR-1SF kit, maybe I can call it another modified GR-1SF? It’s my first soldering attempt so I happy it works as it should.
