Hey all, So 2 years ago I got my first CBG from Richard Sanabia while stationed in New Orleans. I've since completed all my training and I am headed over to Afghanistan. I'd love to get another 3 string traditional, maybe fretless. I've always paid and plan to do so this time. Just looking for someone willing to workthrough my deployment to help me out. And know the builders on here have experiance sending things overseas. Message me! Later, Stone See More

New year with a new tune

So I've been able to enjoy my holiday break and get back into shape before any serious work begins again. I've really enjoyed strumming my new toy. I practiced the simple one string scales that Shane presented in his instructional videos and got a good feel for the sound of my guitar. My wife loves to hear me just play around making up some tunes (I must say I've impressed myself) just playing intuitively. I think she is living her dreams of dating a musician as best she can, so yes a CBG does…See More

"Hey Barnyard, Don't forget to check out thrift stores, Goodwill etc. There are often a lot of old hinges, drawer pulls, screws, washers, and other treasures that work well on homemade instruments. Enjoy!"

"Looks like you're doing good on the treasure hunting - I like the copper tube bridge idea too - might slip one of those in on a build to see how it sounds. I know the idea of a movable bridge might sound a little crazy at first, but I…"

CBG first time build - post #3

Posted on December 22, 2010 at 12:42pm 2 Comments 0 Likes

Headed off to Home Depot to check out materials and supplies. Of the wood available there was the 3x1 and 2x1 poplar, 3x1 and 2x1 red oak. I will be using the poplar for my first build and red oak on my second 'proper' build. I then headed through the isles just looking at what was around and what I could incorporate into my build. I found some interesting things that I believe is what others might use, and if not I hope it is a working cheaper alternative.…

Went on ebay to find a nice body. Although I think a box 2" x 11" x 8" this Arturo Fuente will fit the bill. Perhaps I can source one from the local shop.

I also came across…

Note: I realized after posting that the links will take you away from this page.

Hey there! This is the first post in a blog I will be keeping to document my first CBG build. As many of you reading this from Cigar Box Nation have been through this process many years ago I thought it would be fun to include you in my account of earning my 'strings'. (hahah.. strings, wings,that was good right?) Hopefully I can show other new comers that anybody can indeed build something that…
