I'm not wild about the five string (I've made a four and a five, and prefer the former), but I like the idea of extending the range on the low end. I think on my next one I'd like to increase the scale length to extends the G down to E, adding 3 more frets. Think Pete Seeger. I like the possibility of a slightly larger inst., too, hopefully decreasing the number of times I hear, "What is that, an electric ukulele?".
How does this sound conceptually? Lemme know whatcha think.
This one will be a semi-hollow, fitted with the old Gibson "Charlie Christian" mandolin p.u. I recently acquired.
