Pure and Simple kit

Finished my first CBG kit from CB Gitty.
I'm pretty impressed with the quality and ease of building.
The instrument is a blast to play too.
My wife and I were taking turns on it and practicing riff from
Shane Spiel's YouTube videos.

Are CBGs the new crack? Cause I feel like I'm addicted.

Glad to hear it went well for you, Rodger! And yes, CBGs are a little like crack... just without most of the unpleasant side effects.

Not really an addiction, you can quit anytime you want to, but it will always be after "just one more build". Welcome to the insanity.
