got a few questions and needing help concerning wiring a CBG with some old pickups i took out of my squier electric guitar. Just not sure whats the correct wiring procedure and how to ground out the wires so the sound is clean with no buzz.

Anyway, hope to get started soon. Welcome and I'm headed to see your new group.

Keni Lee Burgess said… - 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
