Things left to do:

— Reddit post I was going to share, but didn’t

In a wonderful twist of fate, someone near me was giving away a partially assembled kit of what I believe to be a Nerdy Gurdy.

I'm currently in the process of trying to figure out what has been assembled, and what still needs doing, but I haven't been able to find the original instruction manual. Notably, the neck seems of a different construction than all of the plans I have found online.

I was hoping that this community would be able to identify which model this is, or even better, where I can find the assembly instructions. (Or, being new to this, if I can effectively follow a similar model's assembly instructions)

  
Here are some of my notes:

- the [Linotte v2.0.2](https://www.nerdygurdy.nl/wp-content/uploads/2025/01/NG-Linotte-manual-v2.0.2.pdf) has the sound "C" shaped things pointing inwards, has a different string attachment mechanism, and the thing that holds the tuners looks different
- The [Linotte v1.3.1](https://www.nerdygurdy.nl/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/NG-Linotte-manual-v1.3.1.pdf) has the same isues as above
- The Fortran looks like a completely different body type
- The Petite has 4 strings to this one's 4
- The Basic also has a very different body type and string mechanism
- The [Nerdy Gurdy v5](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2676276) looked close (the openings are different, but that seems not that important?) but the mechanism for the drones looks different and so does the neck-tuning mechanism
- The Nerdy Gurdy v6.3
