LCpl Los, Currently Serving as a Telephone/PC Repair Tech, USMC, Stateside -- Matched!
Hey guys,
I'm a LCpl in the USMC, currently stationed in Camp Lejeune with 2d Maint. BN, ELMACO. I've been trying to make a CBG for months, as my very first one was destroyed while living in the barracks by a fellow Marine throwing a temper tantrum. It was especially painful, because it was the very day that I finished working on it. Now that I'm in the Fleet Marine Force, the hectic hours and PT/Unit training schedule, as well as being newly married, have all but made it impossible for me to finish another. If possible, I would love a 3-string, fretless electric.

Hi LCpl,
Welcome to the Nation. Special props to a Marine. My daughter and son in law are stationed in Lejeune right now. She spent 4 years in, and he is a gunny in ammo, Dustin Kershaw.
I don't have a CBG handy that I can send you right this second, but I am in the process of building, so if I can get one built soon, I will ship it off to you. If another builder here comes along and has one ready, they can feel free to jump in and fix you up.
Semper Fi.
Dan

Firstly, thank you so much for your generous nature. I've been wanting to play a CBG again like you wouldn't believe. Secondly, your son probably works just down the street from me. If you talk to him, ask him if he works on Pine Green road. Also, give him a motivated "oohrah" from a junior enlisted warrior, haha.
Sincerely,
Chet Los -
