Lionel Berthelon commented on AC Phillips's photo
CBG-RM Body
"These are my favorite shape boxes, hard for me to find. I put in a press ion bass pu and added sound holes afterwards. The sound holes were the key for this box, I think I uploaded pics of the one I built like this"
Lionel Berthelon replied to Diane in Chicago's discussion do you really need a router?"I think I'd want a tabletop bandsaw instead, I have a porter cable router and it ate the shit out of my perfect headstock after catching a grain once while round back of neck. I'll stick to bastard files and drum sander"
Dianne Woods left a comment for Lionel Berthelon"Happy Birthday Lionel for tomorrow. I hope you have a great day. Nice builds."
Lionel Berthelon commented on Charlie's group New York Cigar Box Guitars"I just finished up two more cbgs for friends, next one is for me! Maybe a three string reso"

- Hello,
I have started a CBN group entitled, "How to Play CBG" It is my hope and intention to encourage the "Wealth of Talent" here on the Nation to share their knowledge and skill to further the CBG movement. Please consider contributing an instructional "video" link to this group. If you are a viewer seeking instruction, please feel free to write. If you have any suggestions or know other players who you think may want to post instructional "video" links, please contact me. Thank you for your interest and support, Keni Lee
