A cryptic abbreviation, CIIC 193, led me here:

TITUS Didactica: The Ogham Script and Its Usage

titus.uni-frankfurt.de

Nerdy, I know, but for me, fascinating ... (oh, and most of the time, English translations are provided (if any); the CIIC 193 inscription is number 10 ...)

During my time in Scotland I came across many of these Ogham inscriptions. A fascinating system for every language teacher.

The all-important job of installing the frets has begun. A poor fret job can ruin an otherwise nice instrument. I learned that the hard way with my first scratch-built instrument, a 23" scale tenor guitar. It is now my favorite instrument to play, but I had to do a lot of extra work to get it there. I've learned a lot since I built that instrument.

A very difficult task indeed. If you're not 100% precise the guitar will never be in tune. And - in contrast to our perception of colours (in wavelength difference) - even a non-musical person can hear if a tone is only a few cents out of tune. Your diligent working on this instrument and above all your patience is highly admirable, Tony.
The headstock of the guitar with your beautiful personalized inlay looks great.

Aw, Tony, don't fret. (Someone had to say it.)

Lexington has ukuleles, too.

Very cool photo, Don.
It seems so simple. But the more I look, the more it grows on me.

A long day, wasn't able to bring a camera with me. But, fortunately, my iPhone was in my pocket, walking through a Mexico City neighborhood....this is what I saw.
