Wish my son would wake up so I can get cranking on making this CBG.  I think I might return the tuners and make a Crow Style for my first one.  I like slide but I also want to make something fretted sometime.

I'm new here and found out about CBG from my curiousity with Stick Dulcimers. Now I want to build a 3 string slide CBG.  I went to the cigar store today and got a few boxes.  Went to Lowes and got a couple poplar boards.  Went to guitar center and got some strings and way overpaid for some ping tuning machines but at least I can hope to make a guitar this weekend and am pretty excited about it.  I got a 3/4 inch socket the other day for a stubby slide.  I am pretty excited about this adventure.

Probably should.. I was raised on Tilghman's Island and no stranger to the Outer Banks. Spent most of my young life on the Bay.Thanks for the comment...Peter

Nice first build! So. Are you gonna do nautical themed CBGs? The "Ghost Fleet of the Outer Banks?"

Welcome to the addiction!  Nice looking build.

Great build--no frills but solid and well built---the quintessential CBG!
