nice look,  what are you using for soundhole screen?

That as a type of perforated sheet metal that was laying around our shop.  I've seen it at our local Tru-Value Hardware in very large sheets. Something like 24" x 36". Its was kinda pricey around $30.

This guitar has a built-in amp and speaker, so I needed something to protect the speaker.

Excellent idea, thanks for sharing. 

Would you mind posting a few more photos of your CBG's? 

They look super-cool!

thanks again

What is the red switch-looking thing near the knob?

The built-in mini-amp runs on a 9v battery. So I put in the on/off switch to save the battery.  I should probably find a wooden dowel or something to put on it instead of the red plastic.

The 1/4 in jack is just supplimental, in case I want to run it through an amp and not use the built-in.

There's a picture of the innards of the thing on my page.
