Building an Etribe Travel Guitar
Below you can see some photos of the guitar in its early stages.
You could actually build the guitar without buying the plans, just from looking at the pictures, as at least one person has done. There have been some changes to the design since I took the photos, like the soundholes, they didn't work at all, so I opted instead to hollow out the whole section and maximize the vibrating area of the top and the resonant space inside the body. Actually, the end blocks are totally different now, laminated together instead of made in one piece. This simplifies construction immensely.
