Where to Buy A Great 3 string CBG

Hi All.. I am trying to purchase A nice 3 string CBG for my brother. Now I know really nothing about CBG's at all. I have been trying to research the internet trying to find information about purchasing A great guitar.

A little about my brother. He has been playing guitar for years and he does play great. He had A stay in the hospital and that is when I found out he would LOVE to have A CBG. So being the great sister I am I started looking online. Found out really fast this hunt would be harder than I thought. I tried to find A review of CBG's and found since they are all so one of a kind .. it is hard to review one builder to another. I am trying to find A CBG that is REALLY nice to play and not just pretty to hang on the wall. If anyone on this board can give me suggestions I would LOVE it.

Thanks

Sandy

Please feel free to write if I can be of any further assitance.
Enjoy, Keni Lee
