Sander-I love your little ashbory-it's even smaller than the original. What kind of pickup did you use for yours, and does it have any controls, electronics whatsoever....the body is so small it doesn't look like there'd be any room for anything. And I love your electric upright-I'm actually in the planning stages for building one just like it and refer back to your site often.
Dirk-Your ashbory looks awesome too! I started yesterday on my little ashbory, but planning a much smaller body, just enough to house the electronics. Have you had any problems with string breakage because of the longer scale? I'm still at the point where I can still change the plans for a longer scale if I want.
By the way, if you guys don't know about it already...you should check out mimf.com-the musical instrument makers forum. That's my main luthiery site where I post my instruments. You really should post your little ashbories there-the mimf guys would flip over your instruments, especially since they're pretty uncommon! And Sander, there's a section there for bowed instruments, where you could post your upright-you could really motivate some people with your work.
I'll post my ashbory as soon as I finish it. Thanks for your inputs. :?
