In the new issue of Cycle World magazine, Technical Editor Kevin Cameron’s article talks about, in part, some of the benefits of building/modifying (motorcycles). For anyone who questions our motives with our cigar boxes, etc., I thought some of his ideas might help explain our efforts..
“The result is usually low-key and as personal as old clothes. It radiates the feeling that this is a traveling companion, not a star in comparison with which you, the rider, are nothing but a roadie. It says that the partnership and the journey are more important than the arrival.”

“In the process of building something, you learn so much and have so many more ideas that when you’re done, you can’t wait to start building something better. Each thing created thus potentially carries the seeds of further creation.”
Kevin Cameron, “The Quest for the Authentic, It’s Created, Not Bought,” Cycle World, Dec. 2014
Thought it was worth sharing.

29 or 30 in. 2 string cbg, using the oft-unused high b and e stings tuned to g and d
About high B and E strings: Check out CB Gitty's string guide and hear a 3-string with the two high strings plus the lowest string. (2 octaves between the top and bottom strings.) This configuration leaves the A, D, and G strings of a 6-string set to use on another instrument as G-D-g. Or--you could buy strings from Gitty and just get the ones you need!!
About motorcycle mags: When I look at the pictures everything looks like a potential resonator or ornament for yet another CBG.
