The Smallest guitar I've ever built......

Image

I made this trophy for a local country music club competition, first one I've built in a long time. Twelve years ago in Alice Springs I must have built hundreds of these trophies in different styles over the years.

The back is NG Rosewood, fingerboard is Jarrah, top is Cedar, sound is......bugger all as theres no strings. But I'm told the recipient was happy to get it

Come on Taffy, we need details, What's the scale length? Dimensions, and how thin did you go on the sound board? :D

No really, that's a great trophy. One thats sure to have a place of honor on the mantelpiece.

Hi Allen
I was going to add those spec's to the one's I did post, but the owner would not give the guitar back for me to measure.

I save old trophies [very sporting family] and rebuild them at times like this. The grean stuff????? is very heavy, like marble, it made for a very impressive trophy.
