Build a small guitar!
Here is a Quarter size guitar that I made for my wife from some Brazilian rosewood that was too gorgeous to not use for something. It is strung Nashville style and tuned 5 frets high. We use this with our vocal trio
all-SHe-wrote. Fretboard inlay by Dave Nichols. The back and sides are 4 pieces.

David, great little guitar, with your expected level of craftsmanship. It must be the only guitar I've seen where the strap weighs more than the guitar.

David, that's sweet, you did a beautiful job. But it begs the question. When does a guitar shrink enough to become a uke?

Cute!

In what key is it tuned? You seem to have major league compensation down there!
