I would love to have a CBG to give me a welcomed distraction from Afghanistan. I am deployed with the Mississippi Army National Guard and need something to work on; what better than to learn to play a CBG. I watched one of your instructional videos with the founder playing blues using a slide. Decided that is what I want to do.

All the materials are on hand so it's whatever you want, I am gonna scratch build the box so it will be more rugged. Also I need you to go to the motor pool and try deep well sockets on your slide finger so I will know what size slide to send. Shane's videos for 2 string chuggers and 3 stringers should help you decide.

Permalink Reply by luna baker on May 31, 2012 at 6:45pm thanks DAN for keeping lookout for us ,it's a small service that means alot. I accidently erased that email and I still need that address but, I am not in any hurry just yet, my table saw died the death . I just got a new one today sorry for the delay KERRY but I am on the project as soon as I can get it out of the box. I have worn out three or four saws in this life and this is my first brand new table saw, like christmas in july don't ya know. To break it in on this project is just perfect as far as I am concerned.
