Not just great playing in this video but huge generosity in sharing your Just Intonation measurements too. You, sir, are a diamond and a true gift to the cigar box guitar community. Thank you my friend.
Hi Del. Years ago I heard your Just Tempered fretboard. I instantly loved the sound. Any chance you can give us the measurements in millimeters of that scale. I want to put it in a spreadsheet and make a calculator so I can build different length necks. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺 and God bless you. 🙏
Hi Del. Just placed your very kindly given measurements on a neck I'm making but noticed there's no measurement for the partial at the 18th. Is it best to call it a technical 'smidgen' or do you have that measurement to hand, please? I went with smidgen but if you do have the measurement..... Thanks again for putting this information out for us all to freely access. No end of appreciation for it.
Are you using (or tried) A=432hz tuning with _JI?_ AFAIK that's the secret to healing music! Imagine how big this thing is. Our consciousness is evolving back to where it originally was what comes to music. Bye bye standard tuning! :D
I bet if you took some of the sawdust out of your sander and mixed it with wood glue, that it would hide the slots. I've done this with cherry and oak, you just need to make the paste really thick and I've added a few drops of water so I get more sawdust than glue.
The "Comma of Pythagoras", the bane of just intonation, does not apply to a three stringed instrument. As you go beyond two octaves the higher notes begin to sound like a little girl with a sore throat. Now put a capo on that... LOL.

Ol Grey Bear , everything you just said was true! :-)
Truth and well said! OK Boomer! (in the kindest, most positive way...)
Very nice!
How great though art 👍🏻✝️
Just intonation is life-affirming. I love how you've taken making cigar box guitars to the next level.
Crystal clear sound maestro. Beautiful intonation.
A soothing melody I needed on this nervous day

Holy cow!!! Thanks for the measurements man!! I want to try this for sure. That will be fun.
Thank You Del!! I love that song and your vids are the first I look at when I get on the com.
This is what I've been looking for! Thank you!
Love that song Dell, thanks. Mine sings too! Also, thank you for your heart for sharing.
Love hearing "How Great Thou Art" on this one.
How great thou art on that cbg! Blessings bro and stay safe 👍

Can you do another demo with a fuzz and this cbg.
Must be interesting to hear the harmonics fuzzed.
How do I transfer this to 20 inch scale length?
Thanks this video is awesome it helps me with a lot.
Well now I’ve got to try it don’t I?
Beethoven would be so happy he'd wet himself listening to you play that.
Amen
Awesome! RSVP me Del.. but give me a few weeks! Haha.. step on step off 😁😎
Is it true that a JI guitar can only play one key?
Whatever key you’re tuned to... top and bottom strings are dedicated as ROOT and middle string is dedicated 5th
There are a lot of keys within any tuning. This fret spacing is good for any tuning or string gauge as long as it's I V I.
It sounds like truth. Jon Catler & Hansford Rowe (Steel Blue) approve this video. (On the band that is camp.)

If you had a Bridgeport you could mill them .
