Hi, I'm HazelFyrebird, and I'm a wannabe luthier (I feel like I'm standing up at a Builder's Anonymous meeting...) in Virginia. I'm a bit of a lurker, as I've been reading and reading for a while,…Continue

Hey Guys,
I'm a fairly new builder. I've built about 30 CBG's, 1 Banjo, & 1 Lap Steel.
I'm from the mountains of North Carolina near Asheville. I've been here all my life and don't plan to leave.
I have 2 Banjos on the work bench right now.
I'm having a blast.

Hey guys,
My name is Shane Cody and I am a freelance recording engineer based out of Manhattan. I am originally from Louisville, KY, and studied Recording Arts at Tribeca Flashpoint in Chicago. I just started playing CBGs and it has been a huge hit in the subways in New York. People are always amazed at how cool these things sound! Check out my website and add me! http://shanecodyaudio.wordpress.com/
Hi all,
I'm BW. I've been playing guitar for a bunch of years and still think I stink. I cant seem to connect to the music. Too much guitaristic crap and not enough groove.
I've been working my way backward to the roots of blues for quite a while, but again all the teachers get wrapped up in the instrument, modes and whatnot to distract from letting loose and playing.
So now I'm on three string therapy. I'm going to build my own CBG (or three,or twenty) and tinker and play and hopefully really groove.
See ya around the Nation.
Hi,

Its great to be part of something that gives so many so much pleasure.
Hi folks - putting together my first CBG and have found some great tips and tricks from many members on this great site!
Have been messing around with guitars, banjos and drums for some years so not a stranger to the screwdriver, coping saw and soldering iron and looking forward to producing some interesting projects, love the sound of the CBG and exploring different types of construction...and playing the Blues!
Regards to all, Steve (-;
