Grizz replied to Hey, TURN IT DOWN!'s discussion questions about installing a pickup in the group Secrets of the CBG Underground"If your strings are .010 -.026s your neck should be okay tension wise.

- it is fractal based images i make, I make art from music and it seems the most simple way to try to recreate the colours shapes and textures of what I hear is fractals, made me grin to actually have someone refer to a madalbrot as most people just give a bit of a blank stare when I try to tell them how they are created. Thank you for being kind enough to comment. i am also on a completely different note still trying to hunt down someone willing to do a cigarbox guitar youth workshop prior to our music festival, next year now as this one is now too late to apply for the grants. If you know anyone i'd love the heads up. Good to meet you, btw Shane mentioned someone in Montreal but they have not responded

dg said… - by the way I really like that fret jig you got there. simple and affective, Ive been using a jap backsaw and a framing square but the saw bends easily, I have a miter box but that has too much slop in the slot ( as they say).... would you mind If I stole your Idea for personal use?

- Hey Grizz, thanks. If I had more than four guitars, I would have a problem where to keep them. Very nice CBGs and guitars. Great job.
