Wonderful project [mention:d25512d61e65470296ce2f82f47741ab:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] . Quite an inspiration. I like the paint job mostly.

Hi [mention:d25512d61e65470296ce2f82f47741ab:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05], I really enjoyed watching your project come along in your series of blogs, and the professional finish that you achieved; so much so that it is on my list of things to build [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-10308ff6-7e64-43b9-9c0c-6b578648973e/6406.contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]. I'll be looking out for your next cool project idea.

This was a fun build to watch and well done and finished. I immediately recognized the tune from the Sound of Music. I could almost hear Julie Andrews trying to keep up with you. The built in Fuzz Tone effect will make the heavy metal guitarists jealous.

Cool project, I like the design. The sound reminds me a bit of a didgeridoo or a bagpipe drone, but it is nicely unique.

Your mono guitar sounds a rock sound. You rock!

That is really neat [mention:d25512d61e65470296ce2f82f47741ab:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] - I like it a lot. Even without the frets it is very playable - no disrespect as I think you have previously elluded to not being a guitar player, so I wonder what someone in a rock band could do with it. Well done.

You were quite successful in getting all of the aspects of your design working. Well done! Is actually a guitar, not even project ends of being what was intended.

Very good. Sounds just like an electric guitar. Nice paint job, too. Got no idea what the tune is, though.

Frets are difficult. The maths is fairly simple to determine the ideal positions, but they then have a small correction for the increase in tension as the string is pressed down. I think, possibly, there's also an overall offset because of something that happens at the ends (the nut and the bridge). Simplest thing would be if you could find an existing guitar of the appropriate size and copy it.

Nice project. Interesting sound. You'll have to record a concert some time [View:/resized-image/__size/16x16/__key/commentfiles/f7d226abd59f475c9d224a79e3f0ec07-10308ff6-7e64-43b9-9c0c-6b578648973e/contentimage_5F00_1.png:16:16]

Well done for completing the project - things always have a habit of going wrong when you are short of time.

Enjoy your well earned rest.

Kind regards.
