Whilst i know this isnt everyones cuppa tea
Im pretty excited to string this thing up tomorrow
im sure it wont quite sound like a guitar ......
Total cost....$ the tuners
recycled bridge/saddle and whole fretted board from other instruments
Its quite fun to do something whacky and not stress
a gourd is not round....
