Lava Man

Russ is doing a fantastic job! I cannot wiat to see the finished product!

I hope he doesn't mind, but he is going a great job so far. Here's the neck:

I would like to thank thegarehanman as I have comissioned him to build this guitar for me and I am really excited. I believe that it is going to e a fantastic little guitar that my son will actually be able to play. The challenging part is going to be the bridge due to the small width of the neck at the base.

I thought about the four strings thing (mandolin) but I want a single pickup, 6-string guitar, no frills with the neck as big as possibly can be to fit around his hands. I think it can be done with the neck and string tension being the most tricky part. Lava Man Lava Cable

I am looking for a builder who can make a guitar for my 3-year-old son that his hand can form chords on. I took him to the local music store and the mini-electric guitars are still too big. And, I have looked around the web to no success as they all still look to big. The neck needs to about the size of a Mandolin neck maybe a little bigger and only needs one pickup. Good hardware is important as holding tune at this small size may be difficult. My son is already holding a pick correctly and strumming a little pink toy guitar his sister receieved a few years back for Christmas, so I think he would have a lot of fun with a fully functional electric guitar. I am a guitarist of more than 25 years and have re-wired several guitars, but never made my own and I do not have the tools to do so. Any ideas here? Lava Man Lava Cable
