Another adventure
On my morning run I made the decision; today I start on my first CBG. In my basement is every thing I think I'll need with the possible exception of tuners. Used pallet from pellet stove fuel = neck. Left over piece of cheap paneling = box. Lots of miscellaneous nuts bolts screws and stuff for the hardware. Planning a 3 string fretless biased toward the bassy side. I am NOT an engineer type so there is no real plan. I own and have owned many fine and not so fine instruments but am a rough carpenter at best. Will post some pictures as I get going. I have a new song running through my brain and I can't wait to see if it will work on my CBG! Woo Hoo!!!

A future CBG addict gets his first hit. Have a great time and don't sweat the details on the first one.
