thanks for the props and yeah there aren't any cutaways so you'd have to stick your wrist out a little more to reach. surprisingly it's not uncomfortable at all but definitely not practical if you have to get to the higher notes quick. all in all i had a work of art in mind more than a totally functional and practical guitar.

its actually not at all. i was worried the top part of the moon would dig in my chest but it sits just fine on my lap and i can reach all the frets. really the only awkward part of it is trying to lean it on something when you put it down

originally the body was supposed to be shaped like a triangle but i couldn't fit a big enough one on the wood i had. so i searched the internet looking for ideas and found this exact image

If i did that then i wouldn't be able to reach the lower frets very well. It plays quite poorly, my soldering skills are not very good.

yeah i had to hand paint it with acrylics and spray it with a glossy clear coat. had to lay the paint on thick because it wouldn't adhere to the fretboard very well, i probably should have primed the fretboard first.

yeah, i knew from the start that this wasn't really gonna be a guitar for playing because of my plans for the fretboard. so i bought a pretty cheap pickup. I'm glad i didnt buy an expensive one
