Which one for Wes Carl?

Wes is away from his computer for a few days. He has admired a cbg of mine that looks like the red faced git. I am building him a lefty relic build. The plan was for it to be like mine, a red faced lefty version. But it sure looks good with the white face. Help me choose Wes (the cigar box amp man) Carl's cbg. Red face or white face.

Comment by Uncle John on September 6, 2011 at 8:08am: Frets: my own thing. I don't seem to have much use for frets 6, 8, and 9, so I leave em out. Makes doing the shuffle stuff work better~ where I barre at 5 and shuffle up and down on the middle string at 7 -- and same when I barre 7 and shuffle the middle at 9.

Comment by Uncle John on September 6, 2011 at 8:06am: Rich, if ends up being the white side, would paint the fret markers white.

Comment by Richard G Caudill on September 5, 2011 at 9:38pm: I think it is great just like it is ... If u paint it red u'll cover up the lord clinton ,,which will kill the box ..personel opinion

Comment by Ryan Rose on September 5, 2011 at 8:35pm: I'd normally say white, but since it's a relic build I'd go with red.

Comment by Uncle John on September 5, 2011 at 12:28pm: Good question. I built it how I like it. I don't seem to have need for the 6th, 8th or 11th frets. And set up like it is, it makes it really easy to do shuffle stuff.

Comment by CRAIG K666 on September 5, 2011 at 10:27am: go the white..What is the fret config on these instruments.??..looks like a cross between dulcimer and guitar...
