Nice job Christopher.
The "first" in any hobby is always a rush, but the feeling of playing my first CBG build is STILL a rush.
I have a room full of instruments and The Screaming Axe Handle is always the one I grab 1st.
I hope your experience is similar and that the feeling never diminishes.

Nice, good to see it with strings! After finishing my first one ( a few weeks ago) I lowered the action some and re carved the bridge once, got to play it some to see what needs to be changed to fit you.

That rush when you hear it come to life after installing the strings it addicting I'm on my 12 and just can't slow down. Welcome to the CBG's it spreads like moonshine

Thanks so much for all the kind words folks!!!!!!!!!! I played it until about 2AM last night. LOL At first, I was excited to here it play as it should, but once it started to sing, and the rifs started to come out I felt like a kid sitting in his room and finally figuring out how to play that (insert your fav musician here) rif for the first time!!!!! I can see this becoming a hobby that spins way out of control! But anything worth doing is worth over doing I always say!!!!!!!

It's amazing to be able to put together all those parts together and a REAL instrument comes out! I share your excitement, Chris. I only finished my first one a couple of weeks ago, and I really feel like I am enjoying playing that thing a lot more than my Martin and Fender. Don't you think the wide string spacing on these 3-stringers is more fun to play? Good work, man!

I do think it is more fun to play with the spacing. It made it easier to transition to that style of playing for me!
