Does the brass tube give it more of a ring to the sound.

You are correct sir, the Padron does sound wonderful! Really kinda Nashville. Got that twang. Love it.

Hay Travis thanks for checking out my vid the tuning is just a 1-5-1 tuning D-A-D what ever you want to call it.

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.

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

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.
