Taking cues from my cbgs and other guitars, I finished this one this past weekend. 3 strings, oak neck and fretboard, Gitty tuners, floating bridge and a scratch-built pickup. Sounds better than I'd hoped. Guess I'll build another...
Special thanks to my friend Nathan J. Roberts for taking it for its first run.

Hey all, First of all thank you for accepting me as a member.
I have been kicking around with guitars since my 15th Birthday present of an old acoustic. Since I'm now 55, you would think i would be pretty good but life has a habit of getting in the way.

Love this CBG life!!

Hello gang,just started working on an electric 5 string banjo and will share pics and info. Have an old magazine from Weekend Woodcrafts issue 19 Feb 1995 which is my guide as well as other plans saved from the web over many years. Cut the pieces rough at this point and planning on doing without the typical 5th string tuning peg location and designing the drum for ergonomic comfort. It will be my quiet practice banjo to play without annoying my wife on the couch. stay tuned for info.

Cigar box guitars made by me were used on every song.
I also made most of the drums and percussion instruments, plus some Native American Flutes. (On trk 2, one made from some garden cane is used, and on trk 6, one made from black bamboo)
The only bought instruments are a cheap old children's glockenspiel, a harmonica, an Irish Whistle (on…
