Finished this tonight. I definitely learned a bunch building this that I didn't learn in all my other "regular" guitar builds. Tons of fun and it works. Probably needs a little time to "settle" & a bit of tweeking. But it's my baby!

BTW..thanks to a couple advertisers here for their help with parts & such. C.B. Gitty & Back Porch Mojo....Thanks!

Here a link to a slide show of photos:

Looks really cool, different than a cigar box, but just as neat. Nice job.
I remember you buying that suitcase and wondering if it would work as a CBG. I guess it did! That's such a cool and original idea. I want to build one myself. When it gets settled, I'm sure we would all like to hear it. Send us some audio, Todd.
Like the look of this guitar loads! Good job xD
Nice job like it. Guess you'll need a case for it?. lol

The store I got it from had another case about 2-1/2 times larger. I'm seriously thinking amplifier to match.
It would be funny to buy that other suitcase to hold the CBG, cut a hole in it for the neck, and secure it inside. Then at a performance you could walk out carrying the whole thing, unsnap it, and reveal the real CBG inside. It would be hilarious. ;)
