I've found that I try to top myself with each successive build... which usually means it gets more complicated... which also means it takes longer to complete... but the quality goes up every time, too. Every one I've built is always "the nicest one... yet!"

I think each of us had some reason we got into making CBGs in the first place... and in the process, discover a few more to keep going!

Hi Kevin,

My logo was a hand drawn pic by my sister until I was so far into researching string instruments I found a pic of a cherub playing a harp style instrument and with some effort in MS paint etc my new logo was ready for stickers and cards etc. I would suggest begining with google images for indian heads and pic a style easily transferrable to a logo eg a line drawing...go from there mate but be careful of copyright. Try tobacco/cigar labels and improvise...hope this is a starter in the right direction.

Kevin,

CBGs can be as small as you want...(no one can make you build) or as big as you have the drive and talent to make it...

May only advice... if it quits being fun, scale back or take a break... no one needs extra pain... and don't neglect the Missus (if there is one)....

the best,

Wichita Sam

Keep it simple, and get it to actually SOUND good rather than look fancy.
Better getting actual players come knocking on your door than people who want them for the looks.
Philosophical matter I suppose.
