But if you ask real nice, I betcha the Phrygian Kid might whip you one up. Check out his work on his guitars and other instruments; he does some kewl work. You also won't go wrong with Wichita Sam; I have his number 268 CBG. Nice workmanship.

I think the shipping from AU to Florida might be kind of steep though.

Or there's dewy smith he just moved there, his work is outstanding

Yeah dan thanks I don't really do cbgs anyhow and wasnt chasing the gig..I been focused on solid bodies for quite a while now I just think it's best to go local so he can go meet a builder and check out a few in person.

Steve,

 

If you're going to deploy in November (can you say where you're going, or would that compromise security?), then you really need to take your request to the CBGs for Soldiers Group here at CBN. Dan Sleep is from a Marine family, moderates the group, and should be able to hook you up with a builder who can deliver prior to your deployment.

 

Hey, Dan! Got a customer for ya!

Which means it's likely the Other Place. No need to confirm. The CBGs for Service Members Group will get you hooked up with a builder, who will try his or her mightiest to get it ready prior to your deployment ( they have a pretty good success rate). There have been numerous service men and women in country where you're going, who have gotten a custom made CBG from many of the builders here. Dan will make sure you get matched with a builder, when you take your request over to CBGs for Service Members. If you want to know how it works, contact CBN member Matthew Borczon. Thank you, from all of us, for your service to our country. Stay safe!
