Oh dear, it has no frets! It was made to play a daxophone which does have frets, but oh dear, no strings! I promise I will make a guitar soon. I just had to show off, it's my second bow.

This is my latest finished guitar (unfortunately it's over six months old). 000 size, cocobolo b/s, my first french polish. I've recently begun another of the same size in mahogany trying to duplicate results, so look for that around the new year at the rate I'm going.
This is the Mandocello that I recently finished. You can see a video of me playing it and a mandola that I've built at; http://www.youtube.com/user/mdelabano
This is my latest. It is actually more than 1 1/2 years old. I'm in graduate school and working right now, so that's put a damper on my building. It is a cutaway (obviously) Model K, which I based looooosely on the L-1. The bracing does not really follow the L-1 at all, so, while inspired by Gibson, it is not a copy of. Scale is 24.625, 14 frets to the body. It's owned by a local guy who used to play in a number of punk bands. He's mostly playing to his kids now, with a little sitting in with the guys who still play. It's got a K&K mini western.
maple top on a salvaged mahogany hollow body. the neck is on piece Hog from the same billet. Fretboard is EIR, Tapped H/Bs from Guitar fetish and there's a under saddle piezo pup for acoustic(ish) sounds too.
Stereo jack running to the centre unit in the rack which splits the signal to a DOD G7 for the piezo and a Roland GP8 for the Magnetic pups. the two units midied together......
