Recent CAB CBG

CAB~ cheap ass build. I do love building, but give most of them away lately. Scrap pine neck, lathe finger board and through the box heel. Scrap metal tail piece. 3 frets and acoustic only.

If it goes to someone who needs more frets and a piezo, that will be fine.

Tuned GDG and or ADF#.

Comment by Uncle John on June 19, 2018 at 1:38am: AGP, you excel at CAB. Love that banjer you just made.

K, I can send a note to your momma.

Thanks, Wes. Me too. I admire fancy stuff but prefer simple for my own.

Comment by Korrigan on June 18, 2018 at 3:18pm: Looks good UJ but I don't think I could play it... it only has 3 fret markers and I need more notes than that. :D

Comment by AGP # on June 18, 2018 at 1:45pm: ''CAB'', my! favourite style of CBG :-D
