Whistling Past the Graveyard

Whistling Past the Graveyard

This is a three string model. The body is a bit different because I cut the wood from the graveyard crosses and glued them together in a different way than with the first version. It’s thinner (4cm) and lighter of course.

Below you can see some photos. This is a very nice guitar if you play blues slide or would like to start. It has many advantages to just open tuning a standard 6 string. Nice actually, when I heard it I thought about keeping it:) but I won’t because I built it for someone.

Details:

  • Body: Oak (made from graveyard crosses)
  • Neck: Ash: Esche
  • Fretboard: Ash
  • Scale Length: 635mm
  • Frets: 22, medium
  • Strings: 3
  • Nut / Bridge: 4mm Aluminium
  • Tailpiece: Aluminium
  • Back Plate: Aluminium, 2mm
  • Tuners: economy, but very good
  • Pickup: Humbucker (4 cable), 2 blade (to compensate for the 3 strings)
  • Switch: you can switch between front single coil, humbucker, back single coil
  • Weight: approx. 1,2Kg
  • Balance: very good
  • Finish: wax
  • Strings: D’Addario, .013, .017, .026, nickel wound (tuned to open G – GDG)
  • Intonation: very good
  • Bridge: Floating, connected to earth
  • Other:Strap pegs, Cutaway

Tuned to open G at the moment – G,D,G. Other strings and tuning combinations are of course possible.

No sound demos because I finished it today and am delivering it tomorrow.
