Location: Upper Left USA | Solidbody "A"scale Papoose to start with. I modified the neck to be a 12 string, changed out the eletronics and resurfaced in Koa with Black binding. Three way hits North/Parallel/South and gives some flexibility in sound. Mahogany body, Lacquer finish, Gold hardware, plays like an ovation neck capoed at the fifth fret.
Garranteed to be one of a kind!
Soft case and Leather strap included.
Trade value minimum is about $375.

Location: Upper Left USA | Normal everyday choice of strings for an electric so you can ask and argue over which strings are best. You just end up cutting more off!
I went for the chimey and full twelve string sound with the electronics. It is alot like an electric Mandolin but feels like a guitar. the measurements of the fretboard are nearly the same as an Ovation 1 11/16" capoed at the fifth fret.
It is tuned A to A and gives you a different sound to mix in with.
It is not a "Travel" guitar but it is very portable.
SHIPS TO AUSTRALIA VERY CHEAP!
The Abalone inlay is on both sides and is where I did a bisquit to join the head extension.
I used Koa wood on the Peghead, top face and Paduak for the plates. |

Location: Louisville, OH 44641 | OK Woody. Very cool but I'm actually looking for an octave guitar. Can you cut this baby a little bit shorter? LOL. But seriously, have you made any octave guitars? And if so, what do they cost?
Thanks.

Location: Upper Left USA | E to E+ sounds a little tight but its all in the string gage.
I will say that when I had the Balladeer strung ala "Poor Man's Baritone" going .072" and up it was cool to go back and forth with the same phrasing but an octave apart.
You could take an "A" scale and string it Nashville for a more chimey sound. |
