Description: The guitar is 10.5 cm tall (4.13"). The question was whether it is possible to build such a small guitar that is still playable. Body, neck and head are made of steel. The fretboard is made of brass. The frets are made of flat wire. I built the pickup from a pick, three nails, magnets and the wire from an old pickup. I connected the guitar to my Orange amp via the volume control panel, which actually belongs to a banjo. It was impossible to tune the guitar accurately to an open tuning via the nuts and bolts, despite a lot of effort. For playing, longer fingernails would certainly have been an advantage as well.... The result: It sounds like a one year old playing the xylophone for the first time.🙈😂 Maybe one of you has an idea how to tune the guitar better. Feel free to write me a comment! 💬🤗
