Post a Picture of Your Favorite Build

[Rob (Uker) Porras]

When I found this site I thought I would build one or two guitars and move on to something else. But, I've seen some wildly creative instruments on this site that have provided me with a constant source of inspiration. Now I'm 30 instruments in and still going strong.

I think it would be fun to post pictures of the builds the we're the most proud of.

Don't feel limited to guitars. I've seen some homemade jigs, tools,drum kicks, and lots of other things that're both artistic and marvels of backyard engineering.

So lets each post one pick that's the best of what we've designed and built.

For me, my favourite build is usually the last one I finished. I admire those of you who said it was your first build... but man I'm not going there - mine was dreadful!

So here are my last 2 builds... one for me and the other was sold last week. The last four or so builds are the first time I've really settled on a particular design. Both in oak and walnut, with hand wound pickups.

Did you make the pick ups too?

[Richey Kay]

Yeah that's right Rob.

That is a great photo. It looks like it's 100 feet tall.

Not so much my favorite build. But it was a inspired build, and one of the few that i've held onto.

Nice harp guitar!!!
A harp ukulele is on my bucket list.

[Jo Jacobsen]

That's incredible! Can you give some information about what components you used, the scale, the wood?

[Greg Thompson]

Hey Delvero, That's cool!
