She's much better today, Still have to keep her away from the others as she's not suppose to rough it up much. Not sure what happend but it's definitely her neck. She was in a lot of pain last week and just not herself. Been on meds for the last week and they, along with keeping her away from the others seems to have helped, . Hoping it's nothing permanent but only time will tell.

Silver and Gold.

Was ask by a local business to build one but I couldn't decide what color hardware looked better so now they'll have a choice (or they'll want both).

The silver toned one has a bolt on neck and both have newly configured internal pickups. The tones just keep getting better and better.

One or both may have protective corners added later, but for now I'm against it.

Me in the shed just noodling on my 4 string with a magnetic pickup.
At or around the 1:10 mark you may need to adjust your volume up a little bit.

Been sidelined from any hobbies lately. Started the Cohiba 3 months ago and was finally able to get her finished up. While waiting for things to dry I went ahead and built another one.
The Cohiba is fretted with a piezo pickup. The Lil Mojo is a fretless acoustic.
