Its made of poplar and black and white ebony. I put the rivets on the neck as I'm a beginner and don't know where to place my fingers for the notes!
It has a schatten pickup. Guitar tuners instead of pegs. Its better than my previous ones I posted on here.

I think having the d and a string so far apart, if I see that right on the photo will give you problems later on . at this point you are making muscle memories and the will be hard to break.
that is in interesting design. what are you plugging it in to? |

hmm, the space between the a and d strings seems not to be bothering me. But I should try it closer together then. Well for now I'm plugging it into a danelectro mini amp. I plan on getting a wood violin amp next.

are you using a preamp with that, matching the impedance is a plus
lots of info here. http://www.fiddleforum.com/fiddleforum/index.php?action=forum
also I have had very good luck with the loudbox and electric peiezo pickups on my fiddles
instead of rivets ( unless you like the look ) some thin strips they use for auto detailing have been suggested. |
