I was worried about fretting it for fear I'd get the intonation wrong, but I think I'm going to go for it, because I want the sustain that frets give. I had a load of friendly help from the guys at Deimel guitars in Schöneberg, who have made axes for no less than Sonic Youth.
I've got lots of instruments already, but building a simple guitar was a wonderful thing: It's all your creation, from the look to the sound, and you feel that you have to work with what you've made. You can have the limitless capabilities of Max/MSP, but there is also power in having a limited palette.
