MOST impressive, sir!
I used to think I was indecisive, but now I'm not so sure.

Can't say that I have... kinda' hope that one doesn't catch on. I have done a few conversions, of [some-might-say] an upcycling outcome.


At least two rather inexpensive archtop guitars got turned into a mandocello and octave mandolin. I converted a budget Regal resonator guitar to an 8-string once. We upgraded the cone and spider too. Well, all the guts really... tailpiece, nut, tuners. Pretty much took the husk and used it as the chassis for a build.


Too many banjos to remember.


But nope... never thought about a DIY harp guitar.

I'd seen cleating using thread through the crack, but I love the winch idea, I know I'll use that one day...

I'm about 83.7% sure I've seen Dan Erlewine use something like that in one of his vids.  I neve cease to be amazed at the ingenuity of all you ax mechanics!

I'd totally be in the tall grass without Ward, especially in situations like that one. We hang out either at his shop or mine at least once a month, or sometimes meet-up in town, catch up and talk a little shop.

Many times (like this bass for example) I know what needs to happen, just not how to effect it. He's just got so much experience... I'm lucky to have a coach.

Wish I had a coach in jewelry repair; would probably save me a lot of time, but i eventually figure it out...

Thats a brilliant solution. 
Love the shot with the broken bass bodies in background. 
You have a coach, and coach others (myself for one)

Keep it coming!

Best-

But did you use drywall screws like that guy?
