Thought of this, but I like yours better. 3 strings is venturing into jazz territory.

Thanks.

Putting together a guitar from a kit doesn't count as "building" a guitar, IMO. What they're doing is still cool, though. I've done a bit of building guitars with kids too...

Finally got around to uploading pics of the guitar and amp I made for my niece in December. She's a lefty, and her favorite color is red.

These are awesome, but we'd expect no less...

Just to be "that guy", the C# at the first fret will be out of key.

the C# at the first fret will be out of key.

Heh, yeah... I'm well aware. There's just no way to do it without there being one that's off, unless I split the fret or maybe it could go in diagonally. Just makes it dorian mode near the open strings then natural minor further up. I don't think there's any other interval in the Western system that would make the least difference in changing it than the 6th.

If you really wanted to be "that guy" you would have noticed that I fucked up in the second octave and put in a minor second. Once I realized that, I could have a) taken it out, filled it in and put in the major second; b) added the major second and left the minor one in; or c) left it as-is, figuring that if she ever notices it and it bothers her it just means she's ready for a real guitar. I went with c.
