I am getting closer, I pounded the frets on last night. If all goes well I will get the bridge on tonight and be ready to play by Sunday night.

Note the sea bags. I am able to combine my diving hobby with guitar making. The sea bags are 4 lbs soft lead filled bags. They were very easy to hold in one hand under the fret board or in the guitar.

It is at just about this point in the building process that I have considered quitting my job, or calling in sick just so I can finish stringing it up, setting it up and playing it! Its so hard to wait when you are so close.
Cant wait to see her all done John. Hurry up!!!

OK John, here you go, combine the two hobbies and build a guitar that can be played underwater while scuba diving!!!
