I made a small cbg for my 4 year old grandson. It is a 20in scale, 2 string model. I used bamboo skewers for frets, and he is tickled pink!!

Embrace the pink thing, Sam! If you make it, and it is pink, she will play it -- and that's the goal!

In a few years she might ask for another one in black -- to match her nail polish and lipstick. It comes sooner than you think . . . . ;o>

WHAT a cutie. I can see why you couldn't refuse. WHO COULD!
Ted,

You are seeing first coat of a pink glitter art paint. We're looking at 2-3 coats for a deep, glittery pink for the top and a glitter blue for the sides....

the best,

Sam

AWWWWWWWWWWWW!

Looks like instead of a pink guitar it'll be a one of a kind pinkish graphic effect.

Great photo Sam.
