Mr. Hudson, two questions:
What is the string spacing?
Spec on pots and pickup?
Thanks for all you do, and prayers during
these unsure times.

I've felt a vacuum since the demise of the Dynalap kits. These look like an excellent way to fill that void. Wish I was in the market. Good luck, I hope these are a success.

Can you do a single neck Stringmaster in the shape of the Stringmaster-style single neck Deluxe?

It's a lot more comfortable on the lap (probably why Fender slightly redesigned it).

Thanks! Lovely, lovely work!

Stay safe, Jimmy!

I do not have any plans to do other models. It takes a lot of cash to bring a new model to market.

Hi Jimmie,
The Stringmaster looks like a fun project to work on.
Just a couple of questions.
What is the body thickness ?
What is the Fretboard made out of?
Can the kit be modified for a lefty?
Will the Lollar Stringmaster pickups fit this project?

Thanks Jimmie,

The string master kit can be right or left handed.the fretboard is made of Aluminum, the Lollar pickus fit the guitar and control cover, The thickness of the body is 1.750 and can be as thin as 1.500 by request.

Hi,
just a question.

Regarding those StringMaster kits
Can a 1,750 + 1,500 be used to form a Franken D 6-8 ??

what would be the standard difference between necks?

thanks a lot

I can plane down the back of one neck .250 and then you could make a double neck with it.
That would give you 1/4 inch lower neck on the near neck.

[Francisco Castillo]

thanks for your prompt reply
i play mostly 6 string lap, but surely would enjoy a 6 + 8.

thanks a lot
good luck.


i'm going to mindsurf some pickups and possible configurations.
