Comment by Robert Killen on December 28, 2015 at 6:08am: I know it's not a CBG. It's a CBValiha. And it succeeds in the unusual category...

CBValiha album

Comment by Bruce Gardner on October 12, 2015 at 1:59pm: "1936 Robert Johnson Signature Relic" Aged body and hardware to match 1936 license plate. Pickup is under the plate.

Comment by Bill Turner (Wunkyman) on February 13, 2013 at 6:53am: Okay, so you can't play it. It is strictly an art piece but sculpting it made me look into building playable pieces. Freely moving beads that spell out "TWANG" are strung on 17 strings. The body is hollow and made from MDF. The neck is oak.
