1. This is my favorite guitar. Mainly because it is set up so nicely and offers a great tone.

2. I try my best not to emotionally attach to  any of my possessions. All of my guitars are for sale at the right price, and would not hesitate to alter them if it would improve their playability or value.

Thanks for sharing. Thanks for asking.

Enjoy, Keni Lee

The beauty of building your own guitars is that everything can be designed and adjusted to suit the one player, after a lot of hard work the result becomes part of you, priceless! Something about these guitars is how they got to sound so good after 6 months "burning in", you're frightened to even change the strings in case it loses its "magic" - utter nonsense of course, but musos are a superstitious lot!  (-:

My old workhorse Rum Punch is resting, my main player of late is Punch 2 and has become far too useful! ...time to venture out and make some new ones, new projects include a diddley-bow and a twin-neck,  it's so easy to get stuck with one guitar! (-;

I have had a bunch that came out really sweet, just the right feel and sound, but I sell most of them (no room for all of 'em) But my favorite, sentimental and just plain nice CBG is a Punch box that I built with my last dog Chloe. Can't get rid of it because its the last one she sat there and "helped" me build. And that dog had a really good ear too. If a cbg went out of tune, or my playing was a bit off she would get up and walk away.
