String Buzzing at the bridge or nut
Tres-thanks, found them at Sears too just in case anyone out there reads this discussion and doesn't have a Harbor Freight in town.

Hey Wes! Crossroads?? Red House??
This is one of the most beautiful necks I have seen. It's such an amazing idea to stain the key frets a darker color. I really want to get out there and make my next CBG neck like this one. Very creative!
Nice!
BEAUTIFUL! I have one of them boxes too, but I am waiting to hone my building skills or get someone that knows what they are doing before I touch it. LOL GREAT JOB!
the cohiba is a thing of beauty, atempting to make my first cbg, would like to know if the neck inside the box is tight against the top an bottom of the box or is the neck only fastened to the top or lid , with a gap between the neck an bottom of bo…
Thanks pal! I was very excited about this build. Especially since it was for ME.
Very nice work on this one Travis, you are tearin' it up!
thanks for the kind words JUJU!! Your stuff is amazing, means a lot to hear it from you. I've been saving this box for a while. Decided I would build myself one for a change!
Great looking build Travis - very clean work
juju.
That fretboard is beautiful, as is the rest of the box. Wowsers.

Blue-Moon Dianne said… - I second Wes' comment, the Padron sound is a hauntingly cool sound, and nice job on the demo. Hey, you know there is a Tarheel CBG group that would welcome neighbors if you're interested. -Dianne

rodney fruits said… - thanks for the comments Travis. the jacks you ask about are stero/mono,and they work great on thick walls. i got 20 for $40 bucks, that will never happen again. i do use screws for fret markers sometimes, we often use what we have and i have alot of them.. as you build more and more you will find what works best for you, so just dig in and make a cool lookin cbg.

Bluesdog said… - Hey Travis, yes the zero fret acts as a nut. Just make the cut for the zero fret and mesure from that cut.

Terry Carmack said… - Hey there Travis,
I still have that damn problem, I thought I had bought a bad batch off ebay but bought a few from Guitar Center and what do ya know still have the same problem. I have soldered pots a millian times in the past with guitars and such but for some reason with these dang CBG's Im getting that hum. As long as I dont install a pot and just have a jack and Piezo Im good. Wish I could figure it out.
