Danica McKellar (played Winnie in The Wonder Years, now writes books about math for young girls) is, if I'm not mistaken, 5 or 6. I think the lowest is an MIT professor who worked with the Good Will Hunting writers and coauthored a paper with Erdos.

My 9 is 62mm wide at the nut with straight frets, 27.5" scale. It's really just a prototype that I hacked together, I'm hoping to get a slightly more refined one put together sometime during the next month. You can check out the build thread:

Note that the vid is in "standard" tuning, the M3 idea is something I just did recently. I went with B (standard seven string low B) thru G (just above a regular E) for the tuning.

Hi Dude, thank you for the nice compliment
It is (to my surprise) well-balanced, the body is quite thin and very comfortable, the weight of the whole guitar is only about 3kg (6.6 pounds). The only stupid thing is that i broke the (lower) horn during the building process, so it's shorter then I wanted. I was able rescue the looks, but it doesn't sit on the leg very well. I play with a short strap when sitting (and I play mostly sitting)
What's your fanned frets sevenstring build doing?
Cheers, f l o

You can't go wrong with a mustache. And beard.

Any links to the Rick Toones instruments you mentioned would be great if you get a chance - very interesting

Haha - enjoy the facial hair!

I've been fiddling with Google Sketchup and OmniGraffle for guitar designs. I import fretboard diagrams from FretFind 2D into OmniGraffle and sketch the body shapes on top.

Interested to hear about any other software you're using for this.

Hey, funny you should mention Ergo - I recently tried tuning my 10-string Ergo in all major 3rds! It was really interesting, confusing, and fascinating. I think I've just got too many years invested in all-4ths to convert though

I hear ya man. You're going to be bizzzay!! But, 9 months... there's always this: http://www.musiciansfriend.com/produ...tar?sku=518788

Oh well eh? Will you be bringing any guitars with you?

Sounds like way too much fun. Are they still letting those units grow facial hair to "blend in" a little? I have pics of a friend of mine in a special forces unit there - full beard, afghan scarf, AK - almost looked like fun... almost.
