I thought I had more build pics than this, sorry I lost them. I tune one side to G and the other to D. Walnut back and sides, maple /walnut necks, maple fretboards, Cherry bridge, corian nuts (lol), poplar bracing inside, and red cedar top with spruce bracing underneath. Gotoh tuners, stewmac tailpiece.



    This has good enough volume, but nothing to write home about. Poor to adequate sustain, perfect intonation(why not? I can move the bridge...), plenty of lows and highs.

My thoughts on resofying' were haulted when I realized I wasnt gonna get two cones(10" cones anyway) to fit in/on the top. Im open for any ideas, lets tear it down and RE-BUILD!!!

It looks like one cone would fit just fine, so what you need is a custom bridge that is wide enough for all the strings to touch and transmit the sound to the single cone....just a thought...cool

Why is it square?? The pics are sized down to small to see any detail.

The irony of all ironies. Bobby I just mentioned you on a discussion we are having in the Weissenborn Group. Now the largest on the site. yes Anyway the discussion went to the Tutbros and I mentioned you had 2. You took them off the market if memory serves me correctly. Do you have photos anywhere?

I traded the one on the right, but still own the one on the left. They make great travel guitars.
