I like these 3/4 size dreads ...... they have more mid range and the smaller scale suits me as an old electric player.

I love the bottle of beer parked next to the running machine......

Nice work on the guitar

Another beauty! (not the bottle, Martin)

Peter, I really like how the figure of the york gum burl fits the shape of the scratch plate! An I also like mirrored headplates.

I have played this little guitar (well sort of), and the sound is absolutely remarkable.
It would be the best small body guitar that I've heard, and the photos don't do the wandoo justice.
Well done Pete
Cheers Maurie

Thanks everyone for the comments.

Martin ..... it is all about balance (the bottle and exercise that is).
Maurice .... do some work ....

I should add that between a few of us here in Albany, we have made about 6 3/4 Dreads and they all play and sound great. It was Maurice who first proposed a 3/4 and scaled down the plans. He has also built a 7/8 that I think may be one of his favourites. Come on lad ... post up some pics.

Cheers Peter
