New 3-String

This is my fifth 3-string Guitar. I got the inspiration for these from a friends cigar box guitar and they've been a lot of fun. The neck was turned by face joining two 6/4 cherry boards with paper between them and turning between centers. The body was turned as a normal lidded bowl. The inlays were turned between centers and the bridge was turned with a flange so it fit in a 1" hole in the body.

This one has a cherry neck, a rosewood body and ebony nut/bridge/inlays.

I also put a piezo pickup in it to get a little more volume out of it. The piezo is attached to the bottom of the bridge plug and though it's not the best sounding pickup on the market, it's not too shabby for less than $10 at the Shack.

Comments and critiques welcome.
