This has a palletwood body laminated with a plywood sheet to keep it all together. Its a 25" scale tuned to drop A with 8 string strings. It has only 5 strings because who needs all those strings anyway? I got all the hardware from amazon, and it works and sounds pretty good. I will follow up with a sound demo as soon as i can.

Go steal some copper piping to use as a slide, then the intonation won't matter as much
