Uncle John,

I'm just now getting started in the CBG world.  I decided to go with a kit for my first build.  It should be here this week.  I've been playing guitar for 2 years now.  I do have a musical background having played sax and trumpet in high school.  Have a blessed week....and thanks for accepting me as a friend.  BTW, I did 20 years in the Navy and retired honorably.

"Nice to see how you doo the side markers."


For the fret positions I use a wood burner that I bought for $10.99 on Amazon.  For the scale I use dimensional sticker that I bought at the grocery store.  Improvisation is the heart of the CBG, or so I believe.

As for the red wall, we simply wanted to do something different.  I like it.

Thanks for leaving a comment.

I like the tone of my Mcnally Grand starumstick..but it's frustrating to play as it just won't stay in one place. I have to kind of tuck one corner of the body under my belt!

hey Uncle John...thanks for the reply on my new Seagull "Merlin"

It sounds better than my McNally Strumsticks, which I attribute mainly to the design and the mahogany top. Plus I can play it like a guitar and not on my lap.This tune was D-A-DD. I just used it on a new tune along with my new Gretsch resonator. There, I had it tunes D-A-CC. Stop by if you have a chance. It's not really appropriate to post on this site I don't think.
