    There are some pretty good photos of an octophone with a write-up about it

    Thanks Darryl. Does it intonate well? Do you think there needs to be a compensated saddle on it?

    The scale on the one Bill linked to is larger than mine. Mine is 20 7/8". It was also built in 1933, so they must have shortened the scale in the later years.

    Sorry, I meant tineo. Its a Brazilian wood. I don't know much about it but thought it looked nice. I got it from a local veneer mill. It was a board in the shipping crate. I had to ask several times what the name was because the dealer had a very heavy accent. It took me awhile to track it down.
