My new guitar what I have made........

[Alan Prudhoe]

Obi-Wan: I have something here for you. Your father wanted you to have this when you were old enough, but your uncle wouldn't allow it. He feared you might follow old Obi-Wan on some damn fool idealistic crusade like your father did.

Luke: What is it?

Obi-Wan: Ecca's travel guitar. This is the weapon of a Jedi Knight. Not as clumsy or random as a blaster; an elegant weapon for a more civilized age. For over a thousand generations, the Jedi Knights were the guardians of peace and justice in the Old Republic. Before the dark times... before the Empire.

One day all guitars will be like this (but wise men will still all play ukuleles)

Building on that I'm now making another..... the pick-up next to the bridge and a cutout in front of the tuners so as to lighten it still further.
I'm using a locking nut as the Steinberg end on the end of the cut off neck.

You must have got the idea from the clip of Chet Atkins on Youtube.

Great stuff !

I got the idea about 1986.
This is probably the fifth travel guitar I've had/built or modified but I've never built an electric one before.
Short scale is not good !
it's frustrating.
