Okay, I found Screaming Cockatoo's Facebook page: Screaming Cockatoo Cigar Box Creations. I don't know how the prices are, though.

Seeing as John has already added my name, thanks for the compliment John, my guitars are available here. http://www.etsy.com/shop/Squier?section_id=7120477 It would be a great compliment to be added to one of the Nations members collections. Plus any one of the above mentioned guitars would be great, including one of Dan Sleeps cbg's.

<"a Gugen (sp?)"

That wouldn't happen to be Goguen? The only one of mine that I don't know the whereabouts of, is the one I built for Crow.

I sent him this early prototype but have not heard from him since. I've since changed the voicing of the pickup to be a bit more rock & roll.

I need to check to see what I have built. I think I only have two for sale right this moment. I may have to build one, but yea, I would trade with ya. Check my web site so you can see how I build mine.

any and all are welcome, when you got a shane speal Old Faithful replica (made by shane speal) hanging on the wall next to one of your own personal failed experiments you dont care. its not about the instruments or how big of a name as the makers are, if you put your heart into the build becuase you love doin it then it deserves to be in my collectionm. so, on that note, take a trade?

I was gonna throw my name in the hat, but I don't think my stuff can even be mentioned in the same sentence with those guys.

I'm a huge fan the instruments JUJU builds visually and sonically. I just paid him for a three string pickup order with a walnut wood top and 12.5 mm string spacing( almost exactly 1/2" string spacing ).

Check out Roosterman's Trytone video to see one of his coolest builds.

There are several builders that make incredible CBG's on here also.

Tell our friend not to worry about it. I'm just glad to hear he got it and that he is doing ok.
