My first build
I don't know how I got here but i'm having a great time. The build is going well. The neck is a Gibson 24 5/8 scale. I guess its about halfway through. Tuning pegs bridge and piezo pickup and electronics. I'm thinking these are the critical parts of the build. They will effect how the CBG sounds. Is there any tips or head up the nation could give me. I know this sound vague but any advice wound appreciated. Thanks Will

You're doing great on your own. All the material is here just keep at it. If I was gonna give you any more advice at all it's this, forget the piezo til next time, focus on making em as loud as you can get em without electrics..
That necks a nice bit of wood well done
